Driftwood Sword

the tools I used was a jig saw, table saw, and sander, hammer, chisel, and twine [this is optional]

The first step was choosing the wood. The wood I used was plank drift wood that I had found at a lake near where I live. Then make your design. here is the template I made for the sword. i used a broken practice scimitar to make the templates.

This is the first step we see an electric tool. i used a the jig saw to cut out the shape.…this took me approximately 15 minutes but It might be faster or slower based on the tool you are using…

I then used the table saw to thin out the blade. Make sure not to cut down the handle guard.

In the step I use the table saw to cut notches in the handle. then I take the hammer and chisel and cut the notes out.

Sanding is the last step an electric tool is used. Sharpen the blade and clean up the handle

the last step is optional..

I used the twine the rap the handle...you can use material like leather or an old bike tube as well.

So there you have it....drift wood turned into a cool looking sword.
