15th C. Medieval Pole Axe - Repro Finished

Finished the shat and mounted the axe head today using some fancy brass upholstery tacks. Still needs an end cap or butt spike though. The Dark Walnut stain is a bit redder than I had expected, but should look okay with aging.
As mentioned in previous posts, the axe head is made by Get Dressed For Battle, and the shaft is a fence post from Lowe's.
The upholstery tacks aren't as strong as nails or rivets, but since this is only a display piece they're sufficient.
Thanks for stopping by, and hope you like the newest addition to the "Frugal Man's Armoury."

  7. That's a terrific piece of weaponry, but if it were only a display piece in my place, I'd be too tempted to take it out and put it through its paces!

    Very nice work, Dean!
