The Story

This sword was commissioned by a couple for their wedding. They gave me free rein on designing an elven style sword with elegant curves and an ivy leaf theme to tie together to the engagement ring. We thought it would be fitting to utilize ancient bog oak that was radio carbon dated to over 5,000 years old for this project as Elves are immortal beings. Bog oak is very difficult to source in large lengths but I managed to track some down from a company in the Ukraine. The ivy leaf on the blade and the rings on the handle were elecro etched in house.
