This poleaxe was an in-depth exploration into the forging processes of the 1500s. The pole arm was hand forged from 7 separate wrought iron components, and 3 high carbon bits that became the hammer and cutting edges. I left all surfaces as forged so the methods of construction are still evident. The haft was carved from curly walnut and has through riveted languets to support the head.
