Sword of Sinew and Steel, original art created by Chris Rahn for Magic the Gathering now brought to life.
At full size the sword measure 980mm from tip to pommel. In order to strengthen it at that scale a .5 inch [12.7mm] and two 3/8 inch [9.5mm] dowels are used. To help with printing the sword has also been sub divided into 14 parts and oriented for printing.
For those who may want to make a smaller one. Included in the download is also the uncut model, in high and low poly counts.

Assembly
I recommend starting by putting together the two parts of the hilt along with the sinew side part 1 and steel side part 1. Those parts all go around a .5 inch [12.7mm] dowel and should be glued in place (I used 5-minute epoxy). Next assembly and glue together the sinew and steel side separately along a 3/8 inch [9.5mm] dowel, building the sided like this will make it easier to line the points up when you’re done. I found that using a few pieces of wood and some clips made assembly easier (see image).
