Starting with a blank;
and some tools;
bevel the inside edges;
round the tang cutout;
bevel the outside edges;
and bevel around the corners;
round the sides;
add a tang I made earlier;
And after about 2.5 hours of work, you could call it done but usually it takes another couple of hours to soften the edges and polish/brush the whole thing and then assemble it.

Thanks for the kind words guys
It's mostly the thumb and index finger that get sore doing this work.
