Hello all,

 

I am looking for online sellers wof the above mentioned things since i want to

try and re-tsuka my sword myself, and also am in the midst of restoring a Do and its Kusazuri.

 

I have great difficulty to find suppliers of Egawa (printed leather), which i need, as well as the proper silk (or non-silk) lacing.

 

also i would like info on how to make a saya yourself.

 

I have found a very good Urushi course in Amsterdam, which i might one day attend with various armour parts and / or saya..

 

any info on restauration supplies is most welcome!

 

thanx in advance,

 

KM

Hi, here are a couple of links the first is to Fred Lohman Co. The second is to John Tirado's site. Hopefully these will help. I'd love to know how you make out. I plan on making a shirasaya or tsuka and saya (I haven't made up my mind yet) on a blade that I have that doesn't warrant a profesional job once I finish the habaki.
