Grip is ornyx horn with a steel spike on the end.  The display is a cedar block burned and polished with cow vertebrae for holders.

I can honestly say i do enjoy building forges.  However i usually run into the problem of using a shell form with metal that's to thin and consequently makes it difficult to weld onto.  These are the parts and project for the week - build a non weld forge.  I know there are other tutorials out there, but i wanted to try and make the forge with only home improvement type material.  As it stands i have parts for the shell, the burner is something that make take a bit of work, though i may only buy the burner flare from High temp tools. We shall see  but for now here is what i have so far.

First thing to do is burn the galvanized parts.


And here's one with a welded burner holder.  Just need to wool it up and coat it.

more to come.
