hddennis Posted August 4 Report Posted August 4 I'm trying to restore a cut yari pole and would like to hide the repair under a Kabura-maki or Chidome knot but don't know how it was originaly tied. Are there any online instructions on how this was done? Howard Dennis Quote
hddennis Posted August 26 Author Report Posted August 26 While looking this over more carefully I noticed something I missed initially. I assumed the saya was a textured lacquer surface and set it aside as nothing out of the ordinary. Today I noticed what seems like a panel of what looks to me like leather glued to each side. Is it possible that is what I'm seeing? Howard Dennis Quote
Tensho Posted August 27 Report Posted August 27 Leather was used on yari saya and naginata saya. I have seen quite a few yari saya with leather "covers" As far as the chidome goes I have not had any luck finding out how its done. And I have looked. From what I can see on mine, I believe it it one piece of cord that starts off thin gradually gets thicker and tapers out thin again. 1 Quote
