Isn’t that washer called the seppa? The tsuba is the decorative hand guard between both seppa, and the habaki is ontop of the top seppa before the tsuba.
Tsuka=hilt habaki=collar tsuba=hand guard kashira=pommel menuki=decorative ornaments mekugi=bamboo peg Samégawa=rayskin tsuka-ito=silk cord all look very beautiful you have done a wonderful job. You only forgot the seppa and fuchi i'am very impressed 🙇♂️

Looked like a standard infusion resin that is generally used for carbon fibre. Not sure why he used it, ebony generally doesn't benefit from stabilisation.
@@SkunkworksProps thanks. I’ll look into that. From what I know of hardwoods, you would stabilize them for impact rating. I haven’t been able to afford ebony to work with. However I do work with Bloodwood which is super hard yet fragile. The super dense grain structure makes it so it chips out instead of splintering fibers like with oak or hickory. I want to stabilize Bloodwood to make impact rated Bokken. I will research this vacuum system you mentioned.
@@SM-um5iu Easy composites have a great video on resin infusion for carbon, the process would be the same for wood I guess. It's a good way of getting around needing a huge vacuum pot! As for stabilising, in this case it depends on the ebony. the black ebony's are generally very dense and oily and simply don't accept the resin well. lighter ebony as well as the black and white ones will take it and benefit hugely as they have a tendency to crack or split along the colour lines. Obviously you're working with a different wood, just thought I'd mention it!
