Battara,
Beautiful work as always. I have a couple of questions that I've been meaning to ask about the carvings used on the throat and tip of these and other wooden scabbards. Were they actually carved into the wood, punched in, or a combination of the two? On some of the ones that I have the decorations look to have been almost embossed into the wood like the tooling that you would see on leather scabbards, while on others you can readily tell that it was done with a blade. I thank you for any help that you can offer in answering these questions.
