Here's some photos of my Steel Battle Axe, from the game SKYRIM !! I've made it as part of a set of weapons for a friend who will cosplay as a warrior from SKYRIM.
And have a look at my other Skyrim props : Staff of Destruction : [link] Daedric Sword : [link] Daedric Bow : [link] Steel Sword : [link] Rueful Axe : [link] Steel Axe : [link]

Looking good. I'd suggest the same for this as well. Oh I just thought of something. You can use staining ink to do the job but try it on something else untill you get the hang of it. You'll get better results if you get in a bit of practice first.
