Description
Here's the first out of two photos of my "flame Sword".It was the first piece of art that I designed for A-level last year, and I thought I'd display it here for you all to take a look.
The blade was carved from wood, and the hilt was modeled into shape with clay. The handle itself was make from a cast of one of my ornimental katana handles. Then I added on some flame like designs around the handle and hand guard. I finished the hilt off with red oxide. Hope you all likey!
two pieces of the handle were delightfully shattered off, thanks to some very troublesome school kids a few years under mine. ¬¬; some blu take held them in place during the photo if you can notice. heh.
And by the way, if I've created a sword out of clay and wood... Does this make me a backsmith?
*ponders on that*...

I barely remember. Probably about a week or two cause I recall a lot of drying and furnacing of the clay

Flame sword made of clay and wood-- clay that grows hard in fire's heat, and wood that burns up at fire's touch. There's a metaphor in here somewhere, but for now it's just an awesome art project.
(P.S.- I don't think you're a blacksmith. I think the term you're looking for is "craftsman."

hhmm a blacksmith is named after the "black metal" (what the metal looks like after it has been shaped) so no you are not a blacksmith, you are now a woodsmith! nice work on the blade. if you don't mind me saying that the handle doesn't exactly look comfortable to use, but hey who cares? it looks cool!
