Sword stand for my straight

I bought a new band saw yesterday so I decided that this weekend was going to be devoted to projects.

I started making a new set of scales for a straight I am restoring, and they are coming along nicely, but I have gone as far as I can with them until some stuff I've ordered arrives.

And I still had the DIY bug in me, so...

I decided to carve a stand to keep the straight on when it is finished.

It is inspired by a Japanese tachi sword stand. Excuse the quick and nasty picture, I just wanted to get it on to show you guys and I couldn't be bothered getting the proper camera. And this is not the razor it is for, it is going to be a little bigger, so it will match the stand a little better, but you get the idea.

Thats really nice. I wonder if you will need to carve out the bottom a little bit so that the razor stands in place without you worrying that it might fall off (in a similar way to most pipe stands)?

Yup, way ahead of you. Got that on there. Here it is sitting on its matching sword stand. I made the dent just deep enough to work without covering too much of the scales.

Looks great! All these years I've had my grandfathers samarai sword sitting in my parents living room, and it never occured to me to knock a similar stand up for it.
