I have been experimenting with manipulating wrought iron and this is one of the examples. 

I'd guess wrought iron from around 1820 was part of the hand railing that used to be on the bridge. 

The insert is from a Heller Legend rasp. I heat treated it and it's not a case hardened unit.

I love using good quality wrought iron. That looks pretty cool. Did you punch and drift the eye or fold and forge weld it?

@jennifer Petrila wrapped and welded is serious work!  Well, axes in general are serious work.I'm gearing up again for a few axes myself. Thanks for the inspiration.
