Christmas present from my lovely wife, cause what man doesn't like a bearded hand axe! #wifepoints #patternweld #bladesmithing #blacksmith

Making a scabbard (a sheath tends to be flexible, scabbard not but... the terms are often interchangeable) for my lovely spear made by Dave Budd @HandemadeTools slow but soothing work. #patternweld #spear

Hrmmmm. Well that trick seemed to work. 😎 Possible axe bit or possible seax, not sure yet. . . . . #handmade #patternwelded #patternweld #pattern #damascus #damascusaf #damascussteel #wolfstooth #chevron #chain… instagram.com/p/B6KDkORHnZS/…

Etching, finally! The edges are super fine crushed Ws, accordion folded out, while the center is three bar chevron. I have another 40" sword made of the same on deck. :) . . . #patternweld #patternwelding… instagram.com/p/B0CRF6bnpLK/…

Sometimes the “because I can” uses of craftsmanship are irresistibly fun. #patternweld #blacksmith (Not made by me.)
