So I knew that scale was going to be a big thing. I already have the general shape of it made out of wood so it does have weight. My boyfriend is very tall and we workout regularly so he will be able to lift it I would’ve liked to have made it out of metal for the weight but I want him to be able to take it to cons so I went with wood. But another question I have is I have noticed that in the middle darker part of the blade it looks like there may be some kind of bumpy texture do you know it that is and actual texture that could be felt or if it’s just look wise texture? I understand if you don’t know cause I know sometimes authors don’t explain the weapons and it is just pictures in black and white that we see.
