These are just a few things I had been playing around with. First I had quite a while back made a single piece hilt out of oak. It wasn't perfect but was rather fun to do. Only a week or so ago I decided to make a lenticular later model spatha with profile and slight distal taper. Then I mated the two together. Not a historically accurate depiction but this is the result. Blade as yet unpolished and yes I do need to buy a polishing kit for my grinder. (hope this linking works)
Also made another gladius in a flight of fancy
Just playing around really as these are not prettily finished etc. or historical replicas so you don't have to state the obvious :grin: Comments welcome anyway.
Off to Alabama tomorrow morning for the next week so USA here I come!
