How would I make a wooden version of the swords that the Spartans used. It is called Xiphos,but it doesn't really matter what kind of sword I make. I just need step by step directions on how to make a wooden sword. Please help!

Answer 1

There are several instructions on the internet:

http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Wooden-Sword



http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-nice-wooden-sword/



unfortunately I can't seem to link directly to this page.

But if you go here:

http://www.anvilfire.com/FAQs/swords_faq_index.htm

and ignore all the cautions about making metal swords.

go to project options, the first options are instructions for making a wood sword.



use the instructions you like best. If you don't like any, use google to search for other ones. For making a spartan sword you need to research and draw the appropriate shapes and use those as a pattern for your sword.

Can I ask why in the world would you carrya wooden sword in NYC? If I were you I wouldn't, but if you have to, put it in a bag so it doesn't look incredibly suspicious like it would without one. Be careful man. You know how cops are in the big apple don't you?
