DJole Report post Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) This is cuir boulli, molded in a shallow cup shape. The shell is gold acrylic, and that's Angelus Light Blue for the background. I hardly ever lace things, but it's a great idea here-- the lacing not only holds it on, but it also protects the highest wearing point where other swords will actually make the most contact. This is the raw piece, just after cutting the design in with my swivel knife. Edited August 20, 2016 by DJole added text Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
