The axe heads are made out of lead which i found on
fields and collected i made a mould out of wood which
a bronze age man would of made out of clay and tipped lead
into the mould then sprayed with bronze spray the handles are
made from old scaffolding planks cut and sanded to shape strapped
on with leather laces
