PART 2: Preparing and etching side 1; DOUBLE BLADED VIKING INSPIRED LONG-BEARD AXE

This is the 4th viking inspired axe I have made. This is how I made side 1 of the axe. from the center out is Mjolnir (Thors Hammer) in the middle of a Vegvisor ("That which shows the way."). The runes on this actually have meaning, on the left of the Vegvisor is says "Kinsman" , on the right it says "Sean". Outside of the runes are knot work. attempted to copper plate these, and the knot work in Mjolnir. It did work as intended, however the partial plating and the patina, gives it an older look that was purely accidental. If you would like see the copper plating, check my "FAILS" playlist.
