Both Don and Nate came over this evening to work on new boken. Nate is making one nearly identical to the other two handers I have been making, which are the image of my steel sword (about 43 inches in over all length, 9 inches of hilt plus pomel and cross piece). Don is making a new hand-plus sword that is 40 inches over all length, fashioned after some steel blade he has found online. Sabrina is already using the boken reproduction of a Japanese Willowleaf Sword that I made for her a few weeks ago.
