Due to my paying more attention to the lines rather than the measurements of a zunari I've been working on, I've completed an oversized top for a zunari kabuto.
If you've got a BIG grape and have been looking for a kabuto e-mail me.

More information.
I've received a number of inquiries, so I'm posting more details.
I was building a large for a gentleman with a 24" head measurement. This top came out 30" at the brow which is *I* feel too big. SCA helmets tend to look out of proportion anyway due to our padding requirements and 1" + is too much. Someone 24.5" plus should wear this hat.
At this point the top is done, so options like repousse' on the mabizashi and a full menpo are out. Constuction is 13 ga. top, 15 ga. back shirt and hanbo, 1mm 1050c shikoro and yodare kake. Black or red powder-coating and your choice of lacing colors. $730 +shipping.
Options available are standard shikoro mounts (copper rivits), medium grade (brass crysanthemum rivits), medium grade kanamono (brass), deluxe byo and kanamono (gold plated copper). Removable fukigaeshi (recommended).
I am busily trying to catch up (remake) the one that was ordered, but *if* someone orders the XL completion is roughly 3 weeks.

Ok, the above listed helmet is done (other than lacing). It is powdercoated black and I made it with removable fukigaeshi. If you're interested, shoot me an e-mail in the next couple of weeks to discuss lacing colors. After that I'll just choose a colour, lace it and throw it up on a shelf.

Do you hvae some pics of it with out the lacing? I have a friend who might be interested.
I know that the lacing that he would want would be purple, yellow and white if that is availible.

Hi all. I am re-listing this zunari. Bill is ordering a helmet which better matches the sendai dou.
It's as listed above and immediately available.
