owen bush 285 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Here are some great photographs by Peter Rebac of Amber Studios, Edinburgh of a Sword made by Paul Macdonnald of Macdonald Armouries. I made the blade , the commission and the rest of the work was Paul Macdonald's. Blade is en42J and 15n20, 7 layer twists with high layer edge (700 or so) . the handle is wrought iron stabilised bog oak and silver. I really love the look of this piece and the photographs bring out the visual texture briliantly. there is an underplay to it all that I really love. I get great satisfaction when a blade of my making is brought to life in this way in someone else's hands. hope you like it . All the best Owen 2 Link to post Share on other sites
clint c 132 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The beauty and complexity is phenomenal - wow doesn't seem to cover it but it's all I have right now! Clint Link to post Share on other sites
Jesus Hernandez 31 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I do like it. The entire piece looks so veritable. Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Colwell 143 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 that is a wonderful composition. I don't know anything about the historical accuracy of the pommel and guard shape, but they are great as artistic elements. The blade is a triumph, too. I can imagine that it is a very good feeling to see your work taken and built upon like that. kc Link to post Share on other sites
