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.

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.

If I'm bitching about something, and then that something changes, then I think the correct thing to do is to point out the change as well. Explicit label got removed.

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.

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.
