Except for waiting for things to cool down it is quite easy to make a sgian with a poured pommel and bolster. The Atlanta cutlery blades (thin threaded tang) require little more than a single hole. Full tang sgians (like this one) need a little more prep on the handle. After pouring you just rough sand or file to shape and keep smothing things until you get to a state where it can be polished.

I've got some patterned Arizna Ironwood coming so I can make some sgians to match all those Arizona tartans out there. I don't have one but maybe someone will be up for some trading. O'Neille
