Well, yesterday I had a great time with my Grandson at the GA RenFair. Of course he saw all the wooden swords. I looked at them and thought, I bet this could be made with the carvewright. So I said "Grandpa can make you one of those". So I find myself today looking at pictures on the internet, reviewing Gimp and ShaderMap Pro tutorials etc to go about this. Now I know I can cut out the basic shape of a sword and he actualy will be happy with that. I am going to take it as a chance to learn something even if I have to kill myself doing it..haha Has anyone attempted to do this and do you have any suggestions? This is the picture I am going to attemp to make one from.
