Double bladed Sword

I was asked to make this physical prop for a short film project.
The "blades" are made from European Birch-Wood, there's no metal in the whole thing.
I've worked with the director and art director, from concept (which built on an older blade of mine) to final prop. I believe the build took 4-5 weeks.
