Durin's crest

The crown started as a solid piece of brass, 4"x 5" x 3/4". Using saw, files, and a lot of polishing, it ended up as what you see.

The Hammer is a stainless steel head on a copper handle. the anvil is carved from a solid piece of brass.

The stars. The 6 smaller stars are carved from carriage bolts, each taking about 8 hours to make. The larger star started as a piece of 1-1/2 stainless round stock welded on a bolt, then carved. This one took almost 11 hours of work.
