Sorry for being a nit-picker but the scale of the sythe (and especially its grip) is all wrong - makes it look like a sickle
The 'stem & grip' should be much lower down (out side the visable area) But there nothing wrong about holding the 'snach' (shaft to most people) when holding a sythe upright on it's end.

Image of real one - note that due to the curve, a stem is not required to ofset the grip

That said I still love it
lol i just made it up :O
a such shaped stick is very hard to position right on a piece like this, so one must use a certain degree of artistic license just to make it look pleasing or normal.
i aggree the grip really is a long long way down the snatch, but it just wouldnt look right without it i think.
then again i could photoshop it and see. but i believe in order to make soemthign look 'right' to laymen, you have to use artistic license.
hell a dentist would FREAK if he saw this !
the skull shouldnt look like it does. skulls dont look like that !
the last one i did i had the blae coming out the top of the shaft, like on those 2 pictures, but this one i wanted a more hand crafted look so made it with rope bindings, so i know that wrong ><
i do know what your saying though and i appreiciate your honesty and oppinion. but i think i will go with what i think works with this one
form a head on angle id looks better i think:
