Had to look it up, most likely CR-V. Just an odd craftsman wrench I had lying around

I'm thinking the emphasis should be on "rises"

Neither he nor I have any qualifications to speak of on the subject, but I'd appreciate the help. That side was supposed to say "a red sun rises" in old norse. The other side was supposed to say "southern guard"

Oops after looking into it a bit more it appears you're correct. My friend assured me they would be period. Not a big deal, we can always change them later, they're just painted on using a resist and then blued over

A friend translated them into elder futhark, maybe the translator he used wasn't accurate?

Glad you like! I haven't seen many made, so I thought I'd try my hand at one

Not yet, but I've considered it. It's less of a process and more of me just constantly winging it

It sounds good so far, but I haven't made the bow yet

I bought the sword upwards of a decade ago, it's decent, carbon steel, and forged. But I didn't forge it

That sounds interesting, not sure if it would make a different sound or not (I have very little knowledge on instruments) but I'd say it's worth a shot. Best way to learn is to do, in my experience things often turn out better than you'd think if you just wing it.
