Pretty much finished with this one. Maybe a little further refining in the next 2 weeks but it will be minimal. With each success, a little more confidence, right? I say that because some things, like making habakis, I'm still pretty green at. And cutting the notch for the kurikata in the saya was particularly stressful. I wanted to make something for my teacher, who's retiring from his day job (not from MA), and hopefully he'll like it. His art is Kung Fu and Tai Chi, and a smattering of other odd similar fighting styles, but I don't yet make any Chinese stuff. What I do will have to do, eh? :)
FYI, the best source online I've seen for this kind of work is here:

The guy is an awesome craftsman.
