DESCRIPTION:
- Viking bearded axe created from a 1.125-inch diameter length of ash pole and heavy 8-9 oz. veg-tan leather. The ash handle is shaped to be slightly convex at the wrapped section, and the ends rounded and smoothed.
- The axe head is folded around the top of the handle using a high-strength resin adhesive; a small card of kydex material is inserted between the layers and into a slot cut into the handle, to promote stability and rigidity of the leather. The result is a flexible, but not 'floppy', axe head. Detail and embossing as pictured is added when the head shape is initially cut out. Once the adhesive is fully cured, the axe head is sanded and given it's final shape; the 'blade' is rounded and the edges smoothed.
- The axe head is painted by hand using a range of quality acrylics; several different layers of color within silver as well as ink washes for aging and wear. Lastly, a gilder's paste is used to highlight some of the raised detail.
- The handle is adorned on two opposing sides with woodburned artwork. This art is applied by hand, typically in line with the flat sides of the axe head, though different positioning can be requested. Customers may also submit/request their own artwork for the handle; please message me so that we may discuss the details.
- Prior to wrapping the handle, the entire axe is sprayed with a satin lacquer to protect the painted and burned details. The handle is then wrapped with a heavy leather material over a layer of resin adhesive to ensure it always stays intact.
- Total length of the axe is 20 inches; the axe head is 6.5-inches across by 5.5-inches tall.
This axe is suitable for costume purposes only; it is not recommended for any serious form of mock combat where the possibility of clashing with another weapon or shield may take place.
Completed axes will ship via USPS Priority Mail; if you require another delivery option, please message me prior to ordering.

Due to the nature of the majority of my work, and the typical amount of business that comes through my shop, wholesale items are not available.
Custom and personalized orders
Please contact me before placing an order should you desire customizations not outlined or offered in any particular listing.
Holiday ordering
During the Christmas holiday season, I can quickly become VERY busy; typically putting in 12 hour days in order to make holiday shipping deadlines.
Please plan ahead - I begin taking Christmas orders in late August, but due to workload, I will close the shop to further made-to-order requests the first week of December. Ready to ship items remain listed and ship as stated in their listing.Shipping times
In the case of any custom or Made To Order item, I try very hard to meet the listed production/ship time for the listed item.

I do not rush the work, as I want each piece to be exceptional and worthy to the person purchasing it. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and of course, your patronage!
