Week 11
This week I worked more on the components of the sword. I have gotten a good rough base of the blade part and started to work on the hilt. The way I chose to do it makes it kindof hard to carve because of the angles it is at. I figured out how to have eequal shapes and could finally think about attaching the two pieces. I changed my original idea of carving out a hole to fit the blade exactly and decided to carve down the blade to a rod instead. This was a lot easier to glue and fit almost perfectly, with less chance of snappingthe hilt in half. Now I just have to make the handle and finish shaping the blade.
