Evelyn Randve 15 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi my name is Evelyn and I have been smithing for about 10 years. Mostly off than on . I mainly stick in Migration era art but do go into later eras and into the norse, but rarely past that unless its a commission. This is a seax with two twisted back bars and a bloom steel body, maple burl with bronze fittings and boar. These are some swords and things ive made recently and below is my personal sword Link to post Share on other sites
Caleb Skinner 0 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Beautiful work. Amazing detailing on the handles and I'm very impressed with the table. I'm having a hard time understanding what I'm looking at in picture 5. Maybe it's just the angle? Link to post Share on other sites
Evelyn Randve 15 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 that is a special spear point for piercing armor Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter Lottsfeldt 0 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I believe the 5th picture is a socketed spear head. But I could be wrong. Great work though!! I love the seax, especially the boar shield on the handle. And the last sword is also amazing, whenever I see inlaid garnets I get a little shiver. Are they real garnets?

M. Cochran 4 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Welcome to the group. The work you've shared looks great. Btw im glad to know im not the only person here who makes furniture as well. As usual though, my stuff doesn't look that good lol Link to post Share on other sites
Dennis Mitchell 6 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Indeed some great work! I too love the detail and finish on the table. Link to post Share on other sites
C Craft 176 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Nice work Evelyn, you seem to have varied interests, and do well at all!! What is the image on the blade of the Norse Ax?? I tried to enlarge it but, that distorts it. Link to post Share on other sites
Isaac Humber 8 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Neat pieces , indeed. The table is actually my favorite as well ,very cleanly carved. The enamel work on the one pommel, as well as your tapered fullers are also nicely executed. For mostly doing Migration Era work, you certainly seem to enjoy single hand swords from the medieval period ,too ! That last blade , your 'personal' looks familiar. Do you have any ties to Last Days Tribe forge? Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Longmire 2,648 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Welcome aboard, and nice work! If that's garnet inlay and not enamel on that one pommel we need to see a WIP... Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Green 17 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Welcome Evelyn, Awesome stuff. And I'm with Alan, regardless, of the stones. I would love to see that closer up. Mark Link to post Share on other sites
Emiliano Carrillo 233 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I echo what's been said before, all of the work is really wonderfully executed, but that migration period ring hilt is just something else, really amazing work! Welcome aboard Link to post Share on other sites
Collin Miller 136 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Good work! I really like that little PW seax with the bronze and burl wood hilt. Link to post Share on other sites
GEzell 136 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Yes, I love the little seax.... welcome to the forum. Link to post Share on other sites
Evelyn Randve 15 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) I am sorry for my lack of skill as they are not garnets. I am still learning these talents. I have my first settings though in the Pommel of my recreation of the bamburgh sword. The later era swords are done by commission and Not by my own will Edited March 3, 2015 by Evelyn Randve Link to post Share on other sites
Evelyn Randve 15 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Issac, i do have ties, but this sword was made my hand Marc, i will take some upclose for you. The steel is 1075 for all my mono steel work Link to post Share on other sites
DanielQ 23 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 That table-top is stunning. Quite inspirational, thank you for showing us your work. //DQ Link to post Share on other sites
John Kruse-Kanyuck 1 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Very clean work, glad to have another inspirational maker! I agree that regardless of the stones, I'd love to see some closer details! That table is stunning! The knotting around the border is so elegant. Thank you for sharing!

I have my first settings though in the Pommel of my recreation of the bamburgh sword. The later era swords are done by commission and Not by my own will Heck, I don't actually care what they are, I've played with a reproduction of the Sutton Hoo sword and ALL the accoutrements that used red plexiglass and you really couldn't tell the difference. I would be most appreciative if you were to share how you make your cells/cloisonnes. I have a blade that would benefit from garnet cloisonné... Link to post Share on other sites
