That looks great Nerfenstein! I really need to get more tools so I can make some cool MDF props.

Aww thanks guys, so nice of you to take the time to leave feedback, really appreciate it.
@Lysia - I sadly didn't have any dimensions, I did an outline drawing of an image I found online of Lara's axe, so I'm not sure if it is the right size, I did it so it felt good in my hand basically.

Looks good, seems the Ice Axe has been quite a popular addition to the prop world.
As for sizing, its a 50cm axe. I have no idea where its measured from, but I took mine from the base of the handle to the top above the bolt nearest the pick, seems correct or at least close enough.

My axe arrived safe and sound from you wonderful ladies today. It is absolutely incredible! The detail is exquisite, and it's already on my wall. Beautiful job!
dang,kept checking the Etsy page but no available, just preorder. I wasn't sure if the preorder includes shipping to the states...the price diff. would make sense then.

I got a little somethin' somethin' in the mail today as well. 
I am having one issue though, it looks like the root part of the blade didn't get as much resin love as the tip, and it warps very easily there, in addition to being split.
I'm thinking I could squirt some Gorilla Glue (which is also polyurethane, IIRC) and clamp it down, which will fill that gap and make it less warpy. What do you people that know more about this stuff than me think?
