Step 1: Processing the Stock

I am using beech pallet wood

Cut it to size

Mark the middle

Step 2: Forging

Draw out the shape of sword and shape it with chisel or wood plane

Hollow out the fuller with router or chisel it with gouge

Make Bevels using the wood plane

Step 3: Cross-guard

I have made through mortise hole to attach cross-guard to tang

Step 4: Make It Special

I made my own design on pommel and cross-guard and also carved +ULFBERH+T inside of fuller

Step 5: Handle

I Assembled the whole sword, sand it and wrapped it with cord

Step 6: Paint Job

Paint it with Silver (3 coats) then black from far away

first step will give you the look of cast iron

And then scrub it with thinner on piece of cloth do get steel look and aged finish ( but don't overdo it because you will remove all the paint)

Step 7: Sword to Be Proud of :)

This build came out perfect and I am super happy :3
