Florentine Axe and Hammer Project

A central place to talk about weapons and armour, as it relates to your kit. This is where you show it of or talk about making it. Discussing the relative merits of types of weapons goes in the WMA section.

Very nice work.

Thanks Gondian, I really enjoyed this pair. the heads were interesting and I enjoyed the carving and staining. I am doing this now to alot of my axe handles. This pair is now the property of Rhys Ap Ieuan.

I was pleased to have met with him up in Jersey to deliver them in person. We had a nice chat and I did a bit of feild repair to the axe before we parted.

I hope he enjoys them as I did and it allows me to go on to yet another project!

And I am! My wife likes them too; as soon as I sort out how, they will have an honored display* in the living room.

I am picturing a plaque or board that has 4 nails or hooks in a square so you can hang them crossed. The top nail will support the head from the bottom edge out and the haft will be supported by the opposite lower nail as it rests on top of it.

BTW I am very happy you like them and hope they serve you and yours well!

:D

That'd work. I'm thinking of something basically shield-shaped for the base of it.
