How to make a nice wooden sword

Step 5 Step 5: The Pommel

For a pommel I chose to take a cross section of an old maple bannister. You could also use a wooden ball or egg. Be creative.

Follow the sequence of pictures to get an idea of what part of the bannister I used.

You can make the pommel as plain or fancy as you want. I choose to stamp the sides of the pommels with some old embossing tools I had.

I chose to dowel the pommel on. To do that drill a hole centered on the blade and on the pommel. Cut a dowel to length, test fit, and then glue.

I love woodworking and I love the idea of re-using a banister! Good one ^.-
