Leather combat covers

[Bruce Pennington]

Ok, right.  He is just describing the wooden saya covered with leather.  The translation system he used for that site was pretty antiquated and not real good.

 

I would like to see some shots of your saya.  Sounds unique.

Not much to see. It’s not in the best condition.

Ah, I see!  It's not removable.  I thought you were saying that it was "one" with the saya, like an all-leather saya, or cemented to a wooden saya.  

 

Can you tell if the material is actually leather?  They were making some artificial leathers, like pressed paper and pressed fabrics.

[Justin Grant]

It’s leather. I used a consolidator on it to stop it from powdering. I took it to a leather “dealer” who sells and produces leather goods and he recommended the stabilizer. 

Appreciate your help, as always.
