i was experimenting with a way to reinforce the tip of a sword. and was wondering before I glue it all together I figured I'd post some images to show how I did it.
I used a 2 inch wide strip of cowhide.

Make sure you let Sir Eric evaluate it before you use it against others in combat. It looks pretty good to me, but he has the final say on it. |

thats one of the other reasons i posted it. i may not glue it untill after next tourney, but will have it with me for then, so he might get a good look befor i secure it for good. |

I don't see any safety issues with it. I'm not exactly sure how much it's going to do in the way of keeping the tip from tearing off, but I'm interested to see if it's effective. You've got the green light from me. I say pad it up and try it out. |
