close up of that here:
Ive attempted to pattern the scorch marks as well to give it some texture. I dont actually know of any other sheath makers who pyrograph, possibly because its a longer technique and merciless, but its more versatile than stamping.
I also did this canoe paddle, which is abit of a bugbear, it took about 60 hours work, and I dont even own a canoe! I just thought it would look good
wolf and knotwork is a bit cliche, but I cant think of many unchliche things Id put on a canoe paddle!
sure thing!
The leather burning is very addictive! This is a sheath is mostly my own work with some partial design work from the lindesfarne text. I tend to mix old and new designs together
This is almost entirely an old viking design, but it was the first viking knotwork I attempted, i find once Ive done things once and spent many hours looking over the techniques, I can them begin on my own work.
I just got back from sweden where I visited some of the museums to take sneaky photographs and learn more about the history of the design. I learned alot about dalarna artwork as well which seemed to be specific to the region. I spent most of the time visiting old crafts men. No matter how long Ive been doing something Im always a student!
