I have been doing Prop making Mold and Cast work for a while now and my newest obsession has been melee weapons. I know a few people who have wanted to cosplay and L.A.R.P. with Dragonglass, Obsidian, or stone weapons, but their cost, fragility, and quite frankly deadly nature have kept them from doing so. As a favor I told them I would try to work something out. Here are the first five complete weapons I have put together. The points are two part resin died to resemble various types of volcanic glass, the handles are Poplar, and the wrapping is artificial sinew. I plan on doing a lot more experimenting with colors, blade types, and handle configurations.
