Scabbards
Ian:
Stunning Sir Brian! That is really gorgeous!
Sir William:
Wow, that looks pretty spiffy, Sir Brian! Did they let you in with that shillelagh?
Methinks you could've done the leatherwork yourself...you did the hard part already (crafting the scabbard itself). This from a man who pays others to do the same so take it with a grain of salt. ;)
Where's the sword? lol Maybe you'll get yours before I get mine! Scabbard's done already though. Should I post pics? I wonder.

Yeah isn’t it ironic that security will let us in with our shillelaghs/ walking sticks/ staves but not our faux swords! >:(
The core was a bit labor intensive but only because I was learning as I did it. Brett Smith of T-Star leather of course is a master craftsman of the highest order and I am very happy he was willing and able to take on this work. I think he’s excited to do more so start working on your wood cores for all your blades in need of a scabbard! ;)

They have to allow walking sticks otherwise some people will make claims of ADA discrimination against the family of MDRF lawyers' weapons policy. LOL :) What's next?? No crutches or wheelchairs??

It is indeed; since that is a definite weapon, but the faux swords are just decoration. Of course, if you referred to it as a quarter staff, it'll get banned before the day's out most likely.
Sort of brings that whole 'zero tolerance' policy that is currently in our nation's school systems in lieu of good old-fashioned common sense.
