Sword Prop
What is a good material to make a prop sword out of?
I'm making a sword for a cosplay but I have no clue what to make it out of. It's going to be four and a half feet tall and half a foot accross. I thought about making it out of wood but it would be too heavy. So far that's all I've come up with that could keep it realistic looking. Any ideas?
united art sells balsa wood, glue what you need together and trim away, cuts easily with razor, but do be careful when trimming, they sometimes have paint for a couple of dollars, and it will be lightweight
