    I turned a simple work axe to a Viking war ax. In addition to transforming the headform, I did a lot of engraving work on it. It has some traditional Viking symbols (for example vegvisir) on the head, but I carved Celtic and modern graphic elements to the axe head.
    I also carved the handle of the axe with traditional Viking and Celtic patterns.

    Great job. I liked that you didn’t use etching to get patterns on the head but “carved” everything with one power tool. That gives it something more that etched axes don’t have. I’m also trying to make myself one but I haven’t decided on handle shape yet. I’ll let you know once it’s done !✋

    1.what is that bkack liquid that you use to color the metal art?
    2.what type of varnish u use on the first coating 5:59 so beutiful color i never seen so beautiful brown color like that.

      I used matt enamel paint on the metal. But it would also be nice to use dark oil. Maybe acid etch the engraved parts and then the rust will give out the pattern.
      For the wood I used a simple wood preservative oil.

    It's a very pretty looking wall hanger, but couldn't be used as an axe ever again after this. The handle looks to be basswood, which is too soft for use, and isn't wedged. I also watched the bottom of the bit change color to gold and then blue as you cut it, meaning the heat treat is ruined. It looked to be a cheap, new Rheinland pattern, so no big loss, but just don't go trying to swing that into anything, or you'll be picking splinters of the broken handle out of your hand.
