Scythe handle

Shelley was given a scythe handle. Apparently the handle part is called the snath on a scythe.

We have no use for it as a tool but it looks great in the living room.

All I did was sand off the loose rust and give the whole lot, wood and metal, a couple of coats of varnish.

This is what I think it would have looked like complete.

I found this picture on e-bay.
