Historically Accurate Sword of Gryffindor Build | Part 2

Today we continue building a historically accurate Sword of Gryffindor from the Harry Potter series. Let's look at getting some of the hilt pieces made and cleaned up

So glad to see you come back to this project!
Pewter melting point isn't that high so you could make a core out of wood and then dremel it out. Worth doing a test with at least

I'd personally go for a nice dark wood for the handle to counter the brightness of the metal. I'm assuming the handle would be metal in the book, but I think something like a bit of English walnut would contrast well.

Edit: Some white maple or cherry might work well, especially when sanded up to a high grit.

Love how it’s coming along! For a historically accurate look you’re going to want to shorten the grip length so that upper guard butts right up against your hand

I clicked on this being like 'didn't i watch something like this a few years ago?' and apparently i did. Why was there such a gap between videos? Also, if you cast the parts straight up and not on their side, you should be able to keep the hole and only have to do minimal work to clean up one of the edges.
