I then soldered the silver bands, placed them on the hilt, and wrapped the spaces in hemp (lacquering the hemp).

Thank you.
Yes I have worked on pieces from, other cultures. I have worked on a Scottish sgian dubh, US Civil War foot officer's sword, some Indonesian pieces, some dha in the past, a little work on a Kurdish jambiya, and did some work on a Chinese scabbard. Fun stuff.

Do you base patterns and decoration of missing silver on other items from the same culture or its all based on taste? |
