You can pick them up on ebay at a good price sometimes. The ones I have seen range from nice leather, to burlap looking fiber. Most look like some kind of oiled cloth. They usualy covered the tsuba. They look fairly easy to make. I would use leather, with a good waterproof on it. Oil cloth of some kind would be very easy.
Make a cheap, templet, out of whatever. till you get it right. Than make the real ones.
Pics should be easy to find. Surf around a bit. Tomoyuki/mark

If you decide to use leather, I suggest you line it with fabric. Leather tends to be acidic, and might damage your tsuka over time.
