Tsuka of tanto restoration


Recommended Posts

Hello, 

 

I would like to present my latest project from September.
 
I am particularly pleased with the work on samegawa. I colored it using natural ingredients (dried fruit) from Japan.

I also had difficulty finding the right tsukaito color, the closest to the original, but I succeeded. In total, I checked 4 shades of brown.

Nice work, good pictures. The closeups of the same was educational versus celluliod used in some guntos.  More in-process photos would be enlightening. Please.

 

But the one you posted in August was stunning!  Looking forward to future projects. Thanks for sharing.
