Bio : Ah the tai chi sword How difficult the handle was to make. I had to make 2 identicle handle parts and had to fit together perfectly, they didnt. Instead they were out by half a centimeter. The blade had to be thin buy in the end it kept together.
Well i think it is pine? or oak wood. Sorry my memory is vauge but i just went down the shop and bought me some wood XD. I drew down the basic shape of the sword on the wood then cut them out with a coping sword. Which was tiring... Then i made the handles by sandwiching 2 pieces of MDF wood with the handle of the sword then drilled screws into them. I then placed the guard over the top of the blade slide it down and put small nails inplace. Then i spray painted the blade silver to stop splintering and wrapped the handle in black pve tape.

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
