The Hobbit: The Making of Sting

Greetings good Hobbits,

You may have noticed that the blade only has runes one side. I did this so that one side would look like the Sting used by Frodo and then the reverse to be Bilbo's from "The Hobbit".

Below are step by step photos of how I made Sting. Enjoy!

And so it begins...

Me chiseling room for the Guard

My brother, Jacob's, sense of humour. Check out his blog at

Gluing the guard

Wood buring Elven Script

Wood burning the blade...

...for the 'Frodo' side.

My 'Preciousss'...

Colouring the grip

Sanding it off

Varnishing with spray varnish

The final outcome of the 'Bilbo' side, and I bet the Elves couldn't do better

Forever full of ideas,

Zagginses
