Hello all,

 

This is my second complete (as good as) peice. My first is over in the Swordsmithing thead, which is now just waiting for me to fit the pommel.

I posted this on the Bladesmiths Forum a few days ago, but thought id also post it here...

 

Sadly, its not perfect, I caught the blade on the linisher which shows, along with some other scratchs from early sanding which didn't show until the final polish.

Something I need to improve on in my next projects.

That's cool....very good for a second

Nice job. I had thought about doing copper like that in the handles. Looks great.

I never would've thought about copper, i bet that would look great on a dark wood.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

I hadn't ever considered copper. But I had planned on doing another with bronze: as a patina can be applied.

Looks very nice

You can patina copper as well.
