018 - Fixing a Bent Scabbard

If one of your swords has a wooden scabbard and it's become bent, simply wrap the scabbard in a damp towel and put some weights on it. The moisture will soften the wood so that it can be straighted again. Then, then when the scabbard is straight, wrap it in a dry towel and put the weights back on. Change the wrapping of the towel once a day so the scabbard can dry slowly and evenly. The staightening might only take a few days, but the drying may take a few weeks to do it right.
