Greg Delaunay Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi, I did not post a lot in this moment...I just finish this order: a damascus fantasy sword with a damascus blade (252 layers), a carved mammoth ivory pommel and a carved ebony handle. It was a very long work , more than 250 hours, and I'm happy to see it finished!

Janel Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hello Greg! Thank you for posting the photos of your new work! It is great to see this good work!

magnus homestead Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Greg, Thanks for posting this - such a Joy to see even in the photos! Bravo! Is that a piece of shargreen you used for the background against the ebony. I only just discovered this amazing material about 2 weeks ago.

Greg Delaunay Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Thank you! I don't have the word shargreen in my dictionnary. I suppose it's a fish in the same family with shark. Japanese bladesmith use it for the handle of katana. Janel, I'm always "here", but I read only , it's so difficult for me to answer and so frustrating not being able to share more ..

Greg Delaunay Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I completely forget to tell you that a friend of mine made a video of the making of this sword with all the step by step. There is a little translation (sorry, not complete). You can download the movies here: http://www.elfic.fr/anglais/pages/sword.htm the first part is for the blade, and the second is for the carving work. You will see how I'm working and then, can tell me some advises to do it better next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
