Artist's Comments

I loved working on this sword! A commission for an Ike cosplayer from the game Fire Emblem (a version of this sword also appears in the Super Smash Brothers series).

Lots of fancy router work on this sword to make the pieces fit together. It was a pain but in the end it was worth it not to have to use a steel bar through the hilt. I used lots of epoxy, electrical wire, and hot glue for this. omg. Also, I used up an entire can of white primer on it. (that's pretty epic in my world, bear with me XD)

I don't have a lathe so I had to chisel out the round parts of the hilt by hand ;_;

But...like any artist, as much as I grumble about my works in progress, it's cause I love them!

Thanks!! *beam* I'm reaaaaally proud of this. Hit some snags cause I'd never made a wooden sword this big before, but it came out nice!

It must be really heavy too. Is it?

I can't remember exactly how heavy it is, but yeah, it's not light. (I think it was about 7 pounds or so?) I made it for a 6" tall guy though, so for him it was a fairly manageable weight. Plus I think he said he had made a sword holder for it to carry on his back. XD
