Part 9: Metal inlay for grip; DOUBLE BLADED VIKING INSPIRED LONG BEARD AXE

I used a stainless steel microwave cover from a broken microwave to make these pieces to use as an inlay. Once I cut the pieces from the microwave cover, the process for etching these two pieces was the same as the axe head. I carved an indentation, used 5 min epoxy to adhere it to the handle. Then predrilled holes at the corners. Next I cut some wood panel nails super short, and polished the head on them to use for securing the whole piece.
