I don’t just sell my pieces at the Markets, I try to help out other craftspeople starting out on their journeys too.
You can find some of Sally’s Viking Age twist rings on my stall 🤗💪

Unveiling my new shop sign—hand-carved dragon heads on either side, and finished with real axes, knives, horns, and mugs for a bit of a 3D effect and something different!! 🤗🍺. Every piece tells a story, from the Norse-inspired carvings to the tools and treasures I use every day in the workshop.
If you’re passing by, you won’t miss it—this sign is as bold and unique as the crafts inside.
Swing by, snap a pic, and let me know what you think! ⚔️🛡️🍻

🎲 Roll Like the Ancient Warriors! ⚔️

Dice originally came from Shamans throwing human knuckle bones! So if you don’t have nine dice in your collection, you only have replicas 😉

Forget plastic or resin dice - these beauties are hand-carved from genuine oxen bone! Each set is completely unique, with natural grain patterns that make every roll feel like casting ancient runes.

What makes these special:
🦴 Carved from sustainably sourced oxen bone (destined for landfill!)
🎨 Each die is individually hand-shaped and numbered
✨ Natural variations mean no two sets are identical
🧙‍♂️ Perfect weight and balance for serious gaming
📦 Comes with leather pouch and carved bone storage tube

Whether you're battling dragons in your campaign or just want dice that tell a story, these bone beauties bring that authentic medieval feel to your table.

‼️ Please be extra careful with outdoor fires! I spent an hour running around putting out small outbreaks of a wild fire close to my home. A few kids had a small fire, they used a fire pit but didn’t ensure that it was completely out before they left.
The results are the fire goes underground into the root systems and creates forest fires, which can quickly spread
I didn’t video my pi***ng in the really hottest area 😂luckily the fire brigade arrived within the hour so all was good!

🍺 Odin's Horn - Where Legend Meets Craftsmanship 🐺

NOT for those with a small appetite, these tankards hold around 800ml; hand-carved drinking horn depicting the All-Father with his legendary companions! A perfect gift for your legend, even if that you 🤗🍺

Meet Odin's Sacred Circle:
🐺 Geri and Freki - His faithful wolves whose names mean "the greedy one" and "the ravenous one." They represent loyalty, fierce protection, and the warrior spirit. These wolves symbolize the duality of life and death, always by Odin's side in Valhalla.

🐦‍⬛ Huginn and Muninn - His wise ravens meaning "thought" and "memory." Every dawn they fly across the nine realms, returning to whisper the world's secrets into Odin's ears. They embody wisdom, knowledge, and Odin's all-seeing nature.

This horn captures the essence of Norse mythology - where every sip connects you to ancient wisdom and warrior traditions.

"If I can draw it, I can carve it" - Want your family name in runes? A personal blessing? Your own mythological scene? Just ask!
