First time making sayas. Bubinga for my neeman and rosewood for my deba. Friction fit for both.








 
They look great, is the top one a two piece or three?
 
Not sure I know the difference. But I can say both are made with a wedge at spine that sets the taper to the edge. I imagine that makes them three pieces. The given the thickness and single bevel of the deba I ended up steam bending the top piece of wood around a form before gluing it up. I sanded the bend flat to emulate the shape of the blade.


 
Thanks ya'll. I need to replenish my 00 steel wool so I can buff out a decent sheen.
 
Inspiring work man. Looks great for a first time.

You need to buy a man dinner first before complementing his wood.
I want to relief carve the deba saya. So this thread may have some life yet.
 
Marko Tsourkan just said your sayas were nice. Dang.
