Hello,
I've been following this forum for a while and just registered.
I've had a hobby that relates in a way, I guess... I make replicas *of* swords and knives, from wood mainly. It's been an ongoing hobby for maybe a few years now, though I made a number of similar items when I was younger to play with.
I'm just not sure where I can post this kind of thing? I am also interested in selling these things; they're filling up the man cave, excuse me, house
and the wife's getting a little tired of them...
Here are some examples of what I'm talking about. Do forgive the somewhat cheesy poses in a few of these pictures, they're kind of old... about 4-5 years old, actually... but anyway, here goes.
A spear based on Gil-galad's spear from the Fellowship of the Ring prologue, as depicted in the Arms and Armour of the LOTR movies book:
A somewhat fantasy-styled dagger that was designed as an companion to a sword I'd done when I was a kid:
And this dagger before I painted it:
A basket-hilted broadsword, from when I was younger:
Hope the idea comes across. Where do I post these? Is anybody interested, actually? Given that these are literally "sword-like objects", pieces of artwork in a sense rather than anything functional beyond play or display...
In any case, thank whomever reads the above. I appreciate your input and hope to enjoy membership here!
