Restoration of wakizashi tsuka - jabara katate maki


Recommended Posts

Artur, a beautiful job. I am just ready to start work on a similar hilt and I hope it comes out as good as yours. The worst part is untangling the silk from the skeins they are sent as. The darned stuff twists and knots up if you just look at it. Anyway, I will with luck start wrapping later today - after sorting out the last skein.

Hi, Ian,

To untangle the skein, ask the other person to hold it on the wrists. Beforehand, gently untangle the skein and find the starting thread. Untie the skein in 5 minutes. Hold on!
