Description
It's been a long time coming, but I've finally finished Benihime.It's made primarily from plywood and balsa wood, with red cord for the knot, red string for the tassle and craft foam for the detail as the bottom of the hilt.
Painted with a combination of spray paint and enamel paint, and finished off with spray on clear varnish.
I'd like to thank Nic from studiohybrid.org [link] and for ideas and advice.

Hi, your sword is amazing!! We're also making a Benihime, and we wanted to know how did you do the triangular-shaped string. Which material did you use? How are the pieces assembled together?
Thank you!

Ah it's beautiful. I want to use the plans from that site as well. I just want to do one thing different however. I want to get tsuka-ito for the handle and wrap it. Beautiful. Very beautiful.

This is absolutely stunning. 
How long did it take you to make the whole thing?

It probably took about 2-3 days to make, across about 6 months.

I truly believe this is one of the best Benihime's I've ever seen, for some minor details that really stand out.
Althought it is missing the handle wrapping, the embossing on the guard-piece, giving the beautiful 3D effect is just perfect!
Great job I say

Very good. I like the details you applied on the hilt. How long did it take you to do that?

The hilt details didn't take long, maybe an hour or two.
