Redirect to original
Description A replica 90 percent done, all that needs to be done is the silver paint on the edge. Painted to match the Vaizard's sword in the picture from the manga Bleach. Thus that image isn't mine. Just pine again, carved by hand, single edge this time, gold paint, and blue cloth (no tape this time) I'll add more details later.

Total length 40"
Blade length 30"
Handle length 10"

The sword itself is one piece of wood carved out of a pine 2x4, and the guard is carved out of mahogany. This was made with absolutely no power tools, just a knife and chisel.

Impressive It must have taken a long time to carve it using just a chisel and hammer.

Yeah it takes quite a bit of time, I think this one was 3 hours. Thanks!

Three hours! My Sode no and Tenza took me weeks using power tools. But then sometimes I could only work on them for a few minutes per day.

piratecaptain In reply to Hidoshi-Kun [2007-07-08 03:47:04 +0000 UTC]

thanks very much, i appreciate that. as for making one yourself, i would be happy to give you some tips and such, but the mask would be quite difficult indeed. but i could find some help on that too i think

If you want to make a vaizard mask you should ask behindinfinity he made one out of plaster for his cosplay convention and did a pretty decent job too.

immutableimpossible [2007-03-25 13:46:24 +0000 UTC]

I'm having trouble realizing that this is really wood, and I saw it *before* the paint and wrapping.

how did the black enamel paint turn out? it looks very nice in the picture.

I'm just sitting around now, waiting for my own version...maybe with a shorter handle and longer blade... heehee.

thanks a lot man, i appreciate it. i like it too, but when it gets finished i'll be much happier. i'll try and put another up when i get time. by the way, you ever get that wrapping?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Dinodude73 In reply to piratecaptain [2007-03-24 12:49:46 +0000 UTC]

Not really, It keeps twisting to far around the handle, and I can't keep the twists all on one side to create that diamond pattern. My wrapping might be to stretchy.
What would you suggest for the best wrapping material(easiest to use).

piratecaptain In reply to Dinodude73 [2007-03-24 16:39:12 +0000 UTC]

i really like hockey tape myself, its not super tacky, but it works really well, doesn't stretch too bad, and feels good.
