Sleepy Hollow Project Update
The guard and pommel for the Hessian sword have been cast in steel, and the first blade ground by Jason. Photos below show an assembled prototype with a test resin grip (the actual grips have not yet been cast and will be colored and antiqued to match the castings.)




A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required to reserve the sword. The swords will be shipped as they are completed, in the order they are reserved. Convenient payment plans available.

The guard and pommel for the Arnaut's sword have been carved from wax by Leif Hansen. The next step is to make molds and run production waxes for the foundry.
