I wasn't that sure where to put this. Mods feel free to move it.

These are the wooden swords that I've made

1. Knight Sword



I hand carved it, it is made out of wood. The handle piece is a metal tube from a garden solar light. I painted and put a seal on it.

I made the leather sheath and sewed it together.


2. Viking Sword



I hand carved it, it is made out of wood. The handle piece is a mixture of string, glue and paint. I painted and put a seal on it.

I made the leather sheath and sewed it together.


3. Fantasy Sword



I hand carved it, it is made out of wood. The handle piece is a mixture of string, glue and paint. The pommel stone is a button and the sword decoration is made from scissor blades I painted and put a seal on it.

4. Gladius



I hand carved it, it is made out of wood. The handle piece is a metal tube from a garden solar light. The pommel stone is a carved candle a lollipop stick and some clay. I painted and put a seal on it.

The sheath is leather which I sewed together, with plastic locket and chape that I cut out of an ice cream container, material and four key chains which I sewed on and painted. And the belt was made from leather lace and a soop can opener.


I my not be making any more for a while, but the next one that I will do with be the sword of Martin the warrior.

Enjoy!

Nice job :)
I'm trying to get enough materials to make a real sword myself.

Those are neat! What sort of leather and or needle do you use for making sheaths, and are they fairly rigid? Or flollopy and limp?

Well, I used fake leather b/c its cheap. I doubled it and sewed it well with normal needle and thread. I don't know how to boil leather. But since these aren't iron or steel swords it works well.

How do you do it!

I just used a knife and hand saw, and got to work. Try it your self, it's difficult but doable.  ;)

Alright. I can get my brother to help. I'll try once it gets warmer (not alowed to whittle inside).

I made some wooden swords, but nothing like those! I mostly made mine just to spar with. Unfortunately, no one where I moved apreciates that art.

I have a perfect piece of wood that I could use to make without help, but now I can't find my pocketknife!

There are NO WORDS for how incredibly, amazingly cool these are! It's clear you've put a lot of work in to those swords, and you've done such a wonderful job! Seriously, there can't be anything more fabulous than walking around with a butt-kicking sword -- do you ever go about wearing any of these, show 'em off and whatnot? -- just all around excellent work, sir!
