I was pondering this a few months back and wondered...If I made Wooden Swords would anyone buy them? I want to remake this old wooden sword my dad made for me as a kid and thought why not make a whole set of them for everyone! Maybe sell them 30 - 50 bux? What do you all think? If you have a pic of a sword or axe or shield would you buy one if I or someone made one? And since I'm going to use wood I could make just about anything for cheap and it wouldn't take that long to make either. Maybe 5 day wait then ship it off. What do you guys think?:confused:
Check the market on ebay and whether they are practical to ship.
are they good swords ?
are you good with creating the stuff ?
post some pics of your work.

That's the thing. I haven't done any yet but I am good enough TO do it. Tell ya what ... Let me make the sword I had in mind for myself and I'll post a pic. Basde on it I'll make a decision. I plan on painting them and everything so that they look somewhat real. But they're WOOD!
EDIT
I'll even post pics in here of the process. What I started with to finally the paint.
EDIT AGAIN
I'm considering making the Dragon Slayer from Berserk as well!
In that case you should definitely aim for the cosplay market.
And we be wanting to see pics one u have the dragonslayer done.
Alright guys, here's the deal.
I have drawn out the measurments and I'm doing the Dragon Slayer! It's going to be 8 Feet 6 inches long from the bottom of the handle to the tip of the blade! At the end of the blade it's going to be 10 1/2 inches before it tapers. It's going to be gigantic! I plan on starting it this weekend so I will keep you all updated. I have still to come up with the depth on it. I'm still looking for the chapter where it gets reforged. There was a good angle on it but I think it's about 4-5 inches thick..the blade not counting the guard at the handle. I'm also going to include the buckle on the one side so I can hang it on the wall. Hopefully it will come out right. Like I said before I will take pics of the whole process to show you all how I did it.
Sounds Awesome, try to do a tutorial aswell
