Silent Auction Description This is a glass replica of Sting, the sword wielded by Bilbo and Frodo Baggins throughout the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The blade, the guard, and the handle were formed by hand through glass blowing, then grinding and polishing. The hot glass was formed off a pipe at around 2100 degrees Fahrenheit (about 1150 degrees Celcius), which is approximately the temperature of Mount Doom in Mordor. Then, once it all cooled to non-hellfire temperatures, each of the three pieces was manually ground and polished on diamond grinding wheels to create the final shape and hone the edges. Lastly, the Elvish lettering and leaf details were hand-etched in to the glass when the 3 pieces were joined together. The sword fits entirely within the dimensions of its wooden display stand which measures 24x9x3.
Craft-Along? Yep!
Silent Auction Winning Amount $1,870.00
