A pretty special belt hook for a danse macabre themed dussack. Turned out pretty well, especially considering that I only spent about 50 hours on learning the skills. (I was thinking and theorizing a lot about it since my teens, but that's somewhat different than actually doing it)

I'm done with a blinged-up heavy l'Olonnais dussack. Pommel is hollow and it (along with the cross and shell) is japanned.

I obviously had to organize a shoot with the blinged-up Messer before I shipped it out.

We just managed to snag 550kg of old growth buxus sempervirens on the company side. Due to invasive, species-specific moths and a blight, such old specimens likely won't happen on the planet anymore. These were planted in the 18th century, and died about 5 years ago.

Late period Messer / transitional saber all done except for the grip. The spine starts off at 10mm thick, but distal taper and a quite flat triangular cross-section keep it pretty light.

Also, let me check real quick if bluesky changed anything or they'll relabel this as porn again. Pic from a fantasy shoot with a spatha.

I'm still alive, doing a lot of stuff, I just have a hard time remembering to post here. I'll try being better at it.

And a fresh scabbard plus a new leather grip wrap for a Landsknecht longsword I did a while ago. Also the bypieces are "fake" in this case as per buyer's request.

So I don't know how quick other people work,but this 6 hours of leatherwork definitely felt like a speedrun.

Scabbards and a sheath. The unfinished one is a parchment-lined scabbard core for a very expensive Katzbalger. The wood is 1.2mm thick, and it'll get a linen wrap, on which I'll build the subsheaths for a couple of bypieces, build the foundation for the decor, and wrap it in reindeer leather.

Busy sorting through the raw photos of the most recent photoshoot. We did a lot of pictures, both SFW and NSFW. I see no point in posting any of the latter here, but have a sampling of the former. Rebeka was great and luckily she enjoyed it a lot.
