Decided to make a really big paperweight and it turned into this.

I've been toying around with the idea of making something like this for the past couple of years now. What did you use for the handle? Did you build a wood frame and then pour the concrete in with the handle?

 

 

It looks fantastic by the way. How much does it weigh?

Thanks JJ and Cmdr! I found a good sized Dowel at lowes. True it was 8 feet long but that is what the saw was for. I had some leather straps to wrap it with and painted a copper pipe sleeve to go up against the head. I did indeed make a wooden box to pour the mortar in. Didn't use concrete so I avoided the little pebbles showing up on the surface. I put several screws in the part of the handle embeded inside so it wouldn't slide out over time. To get the slanted look for the ends i picked up some trim with the right angle and midar sawed it into the right shape. The top I used a blister from some glow in the dark stars and poured plaster in that to give it the flat look. All together without the base seen in the new picture it comes in at just over 20 pounds
