Description
This is the finished Claymore. The wood came from a discarded couch.
It now has been spray painted with three coats of Valspar Interior Brilliant Silver that I picked up at Micheal's Arts and Crafts. Now I'm not advertising just answering the inevitable question.
Up date Use Testors chrome lacquer it's a better paint.
Update saw a claymore by waynekaa (
) [link] with all gold handle looked far better.
Materials used
Maple wood, Latex interior primer sealer
handle finish : suede leather
Dimensions
Total length: 71"
Blade: 48" X 5.25" X .25"
Handle: 30" X 15"
Handguard 16"wide.
Bonus here is the video link. [link]

Originality Technique ImpactThere is a sense of severe serenity and a sublime, sleek shape of the sword is a real treat for the eyes. I have always had trouble imagining a large sword, like a claymore to be made elegantly, and not somthing clunky. The swords used in Claymore are all real feminine type looking swords, and so it is important to pay close attention on the curvature of the sword.
And I think that fixinman has been successfull in his venture because I genuinely think that this sword looks beautifull. And as I have said before it is difficult to capture that elegance in such a large sword yet it looks all together complete as one beautifull piece of art. The details are so finely tuned like a pocket watch and the painting is done so cleanly like picasso.
