Here is a piece I was commissioned to do. The client is 6'-4" tall, weighs 250 and is a bodybuilder. You may see this one running around at Wondercon in March.

Solid aluminum blades, solid oak handle. Everything is hand done- Cut out the blades on a portaband, will be shaping the handle with grinders. Handle gets wrapped with leather also. Sandcast the spikes on my front porch out of solid brass. Almost caught my darned deck on fire LOL

Size is 18" from tip to tip on each blade
From blade end to blade end is 32"
Blades are 1" thick
Handle is 48" long and 3.1/2 square right now.
Hand grinding blades and weathering also.

I will probably make some molds of this bad boy to do resin copies too.


So for your enjoyment

Here are some updates-- got the handle roughed in-- used one of those 4" chainsaw attachments for my grinder-- those ROCK-- but are deadly!!!!

Now have to work on some of the attachments for the head, the top part of the handle and some other little goodies. The handle is getting wrapped in a really nice leather also. Brass insets are getting hand hammered and then attached.
