Neat stuff!

eftihis,

I wonder how much of that shape is due to a preferred pattern, and how much of it is due to the fact that, in Mediterranean climates, shrubs and trees with hard wood tend to have curving branches, and making a straight wooden sword would require more work than simply flattening a curved branch?

Great to see these! Anyone have an example of the magila from the Canary Islands?

Best,

F
