Nice, I currently also working on the very same thing. Winged axe but with the wings a lot more towards the back. What material did you use for the mould? I tried using fine sandstone but it is horrible to work with, the deep, narrow grooves just refuse to be worked on with simple tools.

I know :-) We used flint tools, very thin burins, and it is a matter of endureance and diligence to work with them, very time consuming, but in the end it works. The mould was made from very fine, but not too hard sandstone.

Thx! The crucible was made from soapstone in order to guarantee the result for the movie. Originally, Bronze Age people used sandstone

@@ulfr23 ah, yes, that was exactly what I was wondering. I've had a hard time getting the composition right for such clay. Would you mind sharing some insight or the composition? Unless it is a secret recipe of course, haha.

Made out of soapstone - BA people mostly used sandstone, but in this case soapstone was more reliable for the video takes, as sandstone sometimes cracks.
