This is my second in the blade series that i hope to add to over the years. I’m planning on selling this one and probably the knife I made previously.
Its about 14” long, handle is made from black walnut, blade is red oak with some kind of hard wood dowels (not sure what, just said hard wood dowel LOL) Stand is made out of MDF then painted. The glass inlay in the blade is a mix of fused glass that I had to run through the kiln a couple of times and then do quite a bit of cold work to get it to fit how i wanted it too. The glass in the handle is also fused glass but it has a bit of dichroic glass to give it a bit more flare.
I used my bandsaw, drill press sander, stationary sander, dremil, table saw, rasp, and lots of sandpaper to carve and shape the piece.
Well hope you like it, have a great day…

I’d suggest marketing this at either a renaissance festival or a heavy metal concert. :-)
Pretty cool work.

Very, very cool! And I agree with you on “enjoying the design process”. It’s nice to produce something that you don’t see every day. I may have seen hundreds of wooden axes, but I don’t think that I have seen any with that sort of glass work. Great job!
