Tsukamaki

All tsukamaki done in Japanese silk ito. Sorry, no leather right now. Cotton done on request also, but silk is much stronger for a little more.

This is a Bugei Bamboo I redid in black silk. This is a Dynasty Forge katana, blue silk, black rayskin. The tsuba, fuchi, and kashira were done in brushed silver. The tsuba was file fit to the nakago. The rayskin was black lacquered over. Dynasty Forge katana wrapped in brown cotton and replaced rayskin. Cotton is cheaper, but it doesn't last a long as silk. Silk is much stronger and lasts much longer. This Practical Plus katana has a beautiful silk tsukamaki. This is a fully remounted Bamboo Snake katana. The tsukamaki, menuki, fuchi, kashira, tsuba, and saya were redone. The ito was just a placeholder for the time being, but it came out so Shaping is my second concern. Tightness is absolutely #1 in my wraps. This is a fully remounted Bugei Samurai katana. I added the rayskin, wrapped the tsuka in brown silk. The Bushido katana fuchi, kashira, menuki were added with a new tsuba. It is a beautiful remount that took two days to finish. This is a folded Dynasty Forge katana wrapped in brown silk. The tsuka was wrapped in a full wrap of stingray skin and lacquered. A new tsuba was added, and so was the Paul Chen fuchi and kashira. The diamonds were very tight and very uniform. The first good tsukamaki I ever did. It took a while to get here... This Musashi katana had a red silk wrap, rattan, and white sageo. This katana has a black leather tsukamaki. Unfortunately I do not do leather maki right now. This brown tsukamaki was done on another Dynasty Forge blade. The rayskin was replaced with a full wrap, and wrapped in brown silk. The wrap looks good against the bare hardwood saya and rattan. Silk gets stronger when wet, so it is ideal for Iaido or Tameshigiri. Cotton doesn't react well to getting wet, that's why I reccommend... A katete-maki (battle wrap) is Fred Lohman leather. I am not proficient in leather yet, so I try to reject orders for it.
