I Was given a very large and wobbly machete a while ago, never used it and never would in it's previous form so though id try and make a blade out of it, here's some pics please ask away if my blunderings intrigue you.

Thinking of handle shapes.

back to the grind stone.

and so far.

Today's tasks are to shape the but of the handle, drill pin holes, shape and fit scales.

Hope you enjoyed reading.

It's maple matey, an off cut from my old bosses new office.

 

[Retired Member southey]

Tadaa it's all finished, rub with some BOILED linseed oil dun, dun duuuuuun! then a few coats of renaissance wax, sheath is one my friend made for me, hope you like it, and the poor attempt at arty pics.
