The scabbard isn't exactly symetrical, so this mount has to follow that slightly irregular shape (slightly flatter on one side).
Have a look at these pictures of the mount 'off' hopefully it'll show it better.
Any comments welcome.

P.S. I usually enjoy making little bits for weapons, but working this substance is not enjoyable in any way.




Hi Gene,

It looks very good now ! My compliments ! Do you have rattan for the missing part ?
