For Ryo…
Very much a work in progess, as I learn how to properly wrap katana hilts. Interesting to learn how to do this, but my hands keep cramping up. Have to redo this one to make the wrap even, but I want to finish it as a test first.
Update: progress on the second hilt, though both need reworking.

hey, neat! Is that your first time attempting tsukamaki? It looks pretty good!

Yep, first try. The second came out much better, though I’m still having some trouble with the omote knot. I’ll be redoing both soon, after I figure out the knotwork..

They look really good for a first attempt! About how long did it take you to do both of those?

First was a bit over half an hour, because of false starts and figuring things out, and the second took about 15 minutes.
