Re: Arbedo--New Ranger Sword?

Nice job on the grip wrap. When you get to the scabbard if you dont mind some pics of the process, I need to try and make a scabbard for one of my swords.

It worked more or less, although for small items applying like one might wax a coat might work. https://babeegreens.com/pages/how-to-lanolize-wool-and-cashmere Cool...

How did you apply it to your fabric?

Re: Greetings from Central Florida

Let me be the 1st to say hello! I am the least versed here on the lore as I am doing my 1st re-read in quite a few years to figure my set out.

Thanks Wilhelm,

your arrows look amazing btw.

They are a Witcher world re-enactment, just way better than most.

I can give you directions if you haven't found it yet. I have not! I will be there next week again. If I dont find it...
