It is not perfect an shiny, I sanded it down with a stone an burnished it with a piece of metal. My husband cut the piece of steel, (in the ball) heated and hammered it to shape. It has a warrior on a horse carved into the back of the handle an also a Buffalo carved into the front of the handle, both I painted.
I finished it with wax an buffed it down using dried oak leaves (that was a first for me)! Feels great in your hand. Never would have thought I would carve a snake but here it is, an a beautiful piece of art!Any questions, feel free to ask.
