Sword Making Tutorial Make Your Own Gladius
#24
The more I think about it, I think I will go with poplar. Even though it was not the wood used on the original scabbard. I'll be using brass in place of bronze, bone in place of ivory, may as well use poplar in place of oak :lol: .

Besides, it will be covered in leather and, won't show and, easy to work with is a big plus.
