Artist's Comments

Carved from an olive branch i designed the weapon around the Maori style war club. I've never carved before but the irony of crafting a weapon from an international symbol of peace was too tempting an opportunity to pass up. used platted leather for wrist strap, measures almost 1 ft long, 10cm wide (at the widest point) and 3cm thick, (at the thickest point) took 3 days to finish.

A perfect blend of form, function, and irony.
The grain of the wood is very nice, and...
...since I can't carve anything, I don't have anything else to say.
Just that it's fantastic.

Thank you. I wasn’t sure how people would react to this as art, but you seem to have noticed everything i intended people to appreciate.
:iconyumeuchiyume:
I also noticed that it looked a lot like marble in the unedited version.

thanks. It was a bitch and half to carve (rediculiously fine grained)
:iconyumeuchiyume:
Before you upped the contrast.
I might've been imagining it, though, I've been half-asleep the past couple days.

haha. yeah you did imagine that one. Sleep is over rated. (its just very light wood on a dark teflon plate.)

Truer words have never been spoken, except when the one hearing (reading) them has also been running a fever and hacking up her lungs in various unpleasant ways.
