Processing the Stock
I am using beech pallet wood
Cut it to size
Mark the middle
Forging
Draw out the shape of sword and shape it with chisel or wood plane
Hollow out the fuller with router or chisel it with gouge
Make Bevels using the wood plane
Cross-guard
I have made through mortise hole to attach cross-guard to tang
Make It Special
I made my own design on pommel and cross-guard and also carved +ULFBERH+T inside of fuller
Handle
I Assembled the whole sword, sand it and wrapped it with cord
Paint Job
Paint it with Silver (3 coats) then black from far away
first step will give you the look of cast iron
And then scrub it with thinner on piece of cloth do get steel look and aged finish ( but don't overdo it because you will remove all the paint)
Sword to Be Proud of :)
This build came out perfect and I am super happy :3
