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.

Thanks Wilhelm,

Re: MERF Random Adventure Pictures

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...
