Rusty Raven Forge

I thought that it was time to try my hand at construction of a wooden sheath for my new Dane axe. Trying for my own interpretation of the rarely found axe covering that has few examples from the Scandinavian Iron Age. Only a handful have been found from Ireland to Russia . Aiming for a slotted sheath with retaining pin to lock it onto the blade. I will try to keep up on updates and hopefully not stab my self in the process.

Great first day of the Midwest Viking Festival-Green Bay! Not a bad turnout today, should be even better tomorrow.
