Well here for your perusal,
A joint skill swap I made the makers mark a feather which I engraved on to a hardened punch. And in return I got Thor's hammer and proof that the stamp works all comments good or bad welcome .thanks andy(everything Mac) what a great job

Now do you think I should engrave it or leave as is ????
 
I was just thinking maybe the detail of the lashing used to fix the haft or maybe just the lashing for a grip on the haft
 
You love the file work dontcha! As much as I do too I think this piece is better left plain, it has more raw power and symbolises Mjölnir better - well to me anyway. Nice piece enjoy wearing it.
 
I'm well pleased with it too and the makers stamp .
All I was going to do was make it look even more like a real hammer BUT the general word is to leave it ,so leave as Is I shall
 
A nice rough cut leather thong would look good on it. That sound slightly wrong somehow when I read it back.
 
Got to say mate I'm well chuffed with the stamp. It's only been used the once so I'll see how it holds up but it really is awesome.
Hope you get on ok with the hammer. I was worried it might be a bit too big/ heavy.

All the best
Andy

Not a chance bud it's round my neck already I love it thank you.
With the stamp just wire brush it when you've finished using it and rub with oil .
 
Dont do owt to it. If you want to embellish use leather thonging as the strap and wrap a few turns around the handle.
I've got some thronging coming and a few tiny ringlets of antler should do the job very nicely ill post up pics when she's finished
