It is a hand guard, which is to say it protects your hand from your own blade 😂 keep it up dude, you do some awesome work from one craftsman to another

@@corrupted_guide9383 for sure, you’d need a coping saw to get the blade cutout(if you want to get the curves in), but everything can be made with hand tools. I sometimes do the handle with rasps. Power tools just make things faster and a little easier

Historically, the Claymore refers to the one handed Basket Hilt Broadsword or Backsword, the Two-handed one was just called Scottish Greatsword, or Scottish Two-handed sword

The scots gaellic claidheamh-mòr translates directly to “big/great sword” and was used for both of them it seems. Sometimes the claymore I made is called a Highlander Claymore. But modern terms for swords usually have little to do with the historical ones

Man, REALLY nice job, great problem-solving and perseverance! I feel like the guard could be a little darker to contrast with the blade a little more. You know, to mimic the brass/bronze of the real guard and the steel of the blade. It still looks incredible the way it is, though. Excellent work! This has to be one of the coolest sword designs I've ever seen, as well.

Yeah, I threw around a lot of ideas with dyes and other things, but ultimately decided to keep the wood the natural color except for the accent ebony strain. I had also planned on a different blade until I saw the birdseye maple and went with it. The maple gets that gorgeous honey color when finished
