Also remember that when buying hardwood, you dont need to go for the highest quality stuff for this kind of work, if you buy the same wood people use to make hardwood floors, you will bankrupt yourself.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />On a side note, drilling into that Handel for you was one of the hardest things I have ever done with a drill.Elephutan https://www.blogger.com/profile/17212242708343922491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431606381112911889.post-52965404234145093592012-05-02T22:58:51.911-04:002012-05-02T22:58:51.911-04:00Thanks!

I'm hoping to make a more challenging sword next now that I have the skills! I recommend maple, it was a really nice material to work with, but it is more expensive. Really any hardwood would be better for a sword than a softwood.Siebyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393429898188353956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431606381112911889.post-32975300542660608172012-05-02T22:07:39.621-04:002012-05-02T22:07:39.621-04:00Nice tutorial!
