Arthure and his Ex. Excaliber that is

[firewhatfire]

Artur and his Ex Themed this one on the the story of King Arthur and Excaliber. I used Mexican redheart for the handle where I hand filed the spiraled flutes and the grooves for the wire inlay. I used a guitar string for my wire inlay which is pinned in the ends of the blank. I used a grey alumalite blanks to turn the butt and front section. I used the same material to shape the guard and blade from. What sword should not have somewhere to be situated? So I started with a block of foam and shaped out me an anvil coated it with modge podge and painted it black. Comment and critiques are welcome and thanks for looking.

thanks for the coments

It was a fun project. I tried fluting another pen and failed miserably. Guess sometimes you truly do make a one of a kind.
