Everything I’ve learned in the least decade in one piece, any questions?
This piece was challenging. Every technique I’ve learned over the years had to used and done perfectly. Leather lined walnut saya pocket needed to be within .0015” tolerance of the thickness of the blade to have a good hold but easily taken out. Saya and brass inlays needed to be finished separately so keeping the inlay pocket clean of oils and finish was very difficult. Not being able to use any chemicals to clean glue for the brass glue up was also a pain. A lot of carefully planed and executed steps to make this work. Thanks for looking.
Any questions about products, techniques, tools, materials etc. are more than welcome. Thanks
