Drawing on metal. How to make drawing on a 300 year old ax

Historical ax. This Cossack ax was found during excavation work on the territory of Ukraine. This ax belongs to the Cossack period in the history of Ukraine. The ax is forged from raw iron. This ax came to me after restoration work began on it. Unfortunately, I did not see it in its original form. My task was to continue working with this ax, and decorate it with a pattern on the Cossack theme. Here’s what came of it, I wish you a pleasant viewing. Thank you for the attention. The examples of old rusty axes shown in the video are from the internet. These axes date from the 17th to the 19th century. (1600 - 1800) For those who want to support the channel: The video shows the electrochemical method of metal etching, as well as the etching of an ax in ferric chloride. Step-by-step explanations of the process are in the description for my previous videos. Tools and materials that can be useful for this kind of work: - angle grinder
