Super pleased with how this sword turned out, especially seeing as it was my first attempt at it.

Improved Version
This one isn't 100% finished as I'm not sure I actually like the way it came out. The wrap around the pole was a pain in the ass to do and something just feels off about it.
So, what I've decided to do is use this thread as a way to show my progression. These three pieces are the very first projects I've finished aside from a tree. I can already tell I'm improving.
