Winelands theme sword project

This project was completed a few years ago and I just thought I would share it.

The grip was stitched along one side while the leather was still damp and pliable. I had to keep the leather at exactly the right consistency for the tooling (to dry and the relief won't be well defined, too wet and the design ends up looking worn and ill defined and you also risk punching or cutting too deep into the substrate).

The scabbard also featured a simple window with vines design.
