bermudahwin Posted February 24, 2018 Report Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Interesting runes. Elder Futhark? I never considered it, and always marked tools at college 'HmW', damn but yours looks better. Edited February 24, 2018 by hwinbermuda Quote No longer following it.

Sad to admit 'accentuated' has me baffled They were the most genuine runes I could find online, then I added slight flourishes to them to make them personalized. Honestly it's like getting a tattoo in Chinese... not a great idea. I am proud of the braids though. More to come.

Mjolnir Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks everyone! This has been a fun project. I've cut some coper bands (hammered them) to wrap the mallet head. Debating on shaping the coper into something. celtic dragons? an oroborus?

I'm pretty sure there's more than one guy out there with "Kung Pao Chicken" tattooed on him. Great looking mallet. Somehow I was expecting something a little heavier though. Quote

Members Caesar Posted February 28, 2018 Members Report Posted February 28, 2018 That thing is AWESOME! I'd be sorely tempted to carry it wherever I go, and bash anyone that gets out of line. Quote
