     For those of you that remember, I was curious awhile back as to 
     whether sheep's wool would make an adequate lining for a sword 
     scabbard to protect it from the leather and weather.  Quite a few 
     people emailed me back and told me that it ought to work just fine.
     
     I was able to get ahold of quite a bit of wool, still on the skin, for 
     fairly cheap, lined the scabbard, and sewed it back together.  
     Interestingly enough, it actually helps the draw.
     
     Now all I need to do is go ahead and polish the blade...
     
     See ya-
