The glass used in the window reflects clear water drops shown in the clear glass. Water rippling down glass is shown in the reds and yellows. The axes have gray glass to look like metal and have the indents/scratches you would find on a used axe. The axe handles are brown/amber with wood markings.

The window is very realistic. The colors on this window are stunning and vibrant. It was designed and constructed to help fund a silent auction for a local firefighter with cancer. The window has etching, multi-stage sandcarving, airbrushing and kiln fired enamels so the intricate details will last forever and won't wash off or fade..

Airbrush applied glass enamel and then kiln fired to make them part of the glass. Picture taken before smoothing of the lines was done for the soldering, sorry.
