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.

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!

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.
