hxv Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 I am working on a daito mounting project. I have a set of plain (but nice) iron fuchi/kashira, old iron tsuba, and am looking for a pair of plain iron menuki. I am not particular on the theme. My budget is 100-150 USD. Please PM me if you can help. Many thanks, Hoanh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curran Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Find yourself a pair of old Japanese nails. This type of thing. http://nicolawood.typepad.co.uk/kesurokai/Japanese-tea-house/ They aren't hard to find. I have some in the 2nd garage that I've been saving for a project.

hxv Posted June 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Stephen, Yes, I would like them, but how would you mount them as menuki? I am a bit slow in the visualization department. A pic would help a great deal. Many thanks, Hoanh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
