Seax pictures

Just a few more pictures of the finished seax.

So, done at last.l..not much to say except yee-haaa, ...very happy with the result...exactly what I wanted, an odd amalgamation of tibetan/nepalese knife and a 9th c. norse scramseax.

Almost done...

So, all assembly done. All that is left to do is patina the silver, fit and glue in the wooden cores, and affix the two end caps. After all this time and work, I must admit I am pretty excited...can't rush at this point and make some stupid mistake!

Silver repoussed seax.

So, back, at last to this one...all the repousse is done, and it is final assembly time...and the garnet inlay...the garnets have been ground down to their final thickness, about 1.6 mm...alittle nervous about this, but we will see...the last dagger, the garnets were thicker.

  I've done an Odin mask for the scabbard tip...
