It was a pleasure mate. It's worth pointing out to folk that the design work was all yours too, you provided some great artwork for me to carve. I really enjoyed making this :)

I had to model it myself for a quick pic before posting, and I must say I was sorely tempted to keep it ;)

I just had your twin brother in the chair, but his dreads are a little bit shorter!!!!!!!!!!

Really nice hat.
That hat and a custom sheath with the same Norse design - how about that, Broch?

Actually based on later Celtic design though that was influenced by Norse art (and I am 13% Scandinavian so that's OK :) )

The Hare and stylised Triskele is a common theme in Celtic art (as well as many other ancient art forms) - the rest of the animals (badger, fox, raven and buzzard - all present in my wood) are based on some Celtic representations of animals in middle-age artwork.

So a bit of a melange of styles that means something to me though I accept not pure 'Celtic'. :)

I can't sit on my hands any longer.
Every once in a while, I get to see a real triumph in the fine arts of design and creation.
Wood, stone, metal, leather, clay, any of those things which we tend to relegate to the ghosts of history.
This hat is a gallery grade example to wear with pride.
