Tang, Lock Bolts, and Side Plate




The tang is shaped and inletted, lock bolts installed, and side plate roughed out. The tang needs a bolt and some final shaping. Lock bolts will be shortened and the heads will be domed. The side plate still needs some final shaping, engraving, and inletting. I tried a little wiggle engraving to get some depth. Not sure I'm happy with it yet. The plate is thick. So there is a lot I can do with depth and molding it to a desired form.
