I was gifted a 96 cm (38”) swordfish bill and decided to make one of my friends a graduation gift. Apparently he loves swords. It took 3 years (of procrastinating) but I made a sword with a koa handle and the shadow box out of Monkeypod and velvet. I used coconut coir rope and chicken feathers to attach the hand shield. (This was traditionally used to prevent blood from making the sword slippery). I messed up on the shadow box because the velvet isn’t perfectly flat but turned out mean. My friend was super stoked
