Accomplished

He polished the gleaming blade with care, turning it in the light to admire the sinuous pattern of fold lines in the steel, before attaching the braided tassel to the pommel. He weighed the sword across his fingers, checking the balance; tossed it high and caught it. Next, he wiped the scabbard and sheathed the weapon. He set it aside on the work bench while he turned his attention to the rosewood case, buffing out the final coat of wax and oiling the hinges and catch.

This was his master piece; Will Turner would be a mere apprentice no longer.

Thank you! A well-made sword is a sensual thing, it was easy to imagine Will handling it.

Thank you! I agree, he's a master craftsman - or at the very least a journeyman - when we meet him. *g*
