Nice.
I would have like to have seen the strips raised aluminum instead of painted on, but is fantastic and overall very well done.

Great work buddy, I dig it. Love reworking MHS parts.
Thanks, guys!
@Rampant - it's funny that you say that, I just had an idea how to do it. The short version is to make a slotted sleeve of 1.375" OD tube... I'm pretty sure I'm going to do another one so I can use all these ideas that I got from doing this one.
Awesome!
All your work is amazing and obviously took a lot of time and effort to create.
I love the "Aha!" moments when you finally figure out how to do something in your own head.
Looks great. What is the tsuba (hand guard) made from?
Thanks!
This hilt was a one-day build... the skills took a little longer. The install took two more days, overall 3 days (two sundays and a saturday) I thought about it for a the week before, so once I started, all I had to do was cut, sand, and screw.
The tsuba is just a steel washer from Ace hardware. According to my questionable measurement of my television, it was 2 3/4" in diameter; I found a 2 3/4" OD x 1 1/4" ID and I beveled the bottom edge.
Awesome work again e. I dig it.
