This halberd I made in autumn 2016 to the Varmland theater musical “Return to the Forbidden Planet” in Karlstad.

The musical consisted of humor, catchy and well known 60’s rock, a dose of Shakespeare and a real space adventure in a somewhat insane mix.

The halberd was used as an allusion to Shakespeare.

The 2-meter-long wooden shaft was made of 20mm round rod.

I made the broad-axe of figure sawn plywood with a top layer of Worbla. It was then painted with black and silver to get an aged and well-worn look.
