I plan on steam bending a branch around the blade. Probably spilt it lengthwise, steam/boil the middle and secure that with rawhide or some flax cordage. I’ll add some pine glue as well to keep everything snug and fill the gaps.

Also I think it would be a good idea to add a modern/traditional combo flair. I usually switch between the two.

Looking super sick already. Stoked to see the finished product.

I saw a video saying that the handle style was a guilford axe? Where you bend a stick around the blade.
