Finally, I took plain sheet silver and wrapped the scabbard, making silver bands and placing them on the scabbard.

You make it looks so easy. How about closeups of the hilt and the baka-baka.. That is some log.

Jose, that looks great. What kind of joint do you use on the silver rings? Is it a simple butt joint, or what? I had to make a brass ferrule for a kris today and made kind of a miter joint. I filed the edges of the brass at an angle so there would be more surface area and strength to the joint. Love to know how the pro does it.

Here is the best picture I have of the baka-baka and hilt.

Steve, I am embarrassed to say that I am not familiar with your terms.

Thank you everyone.
