Last week my
husband was helping with a friends Eagle court of honor and borrowed some things from a 
co-worker. He does intarsia and has done a beautiful eagle on an arch ,plus all the scout ranks mounted on a fence. Really nice work and we were thrilled he let us borrow it... a couple of years ago he was at a retirement party for another co-worker where I had made a walking stick for. We got talking and he asked me about this viking that he had started and got stuck on...(Maybe sometime I could help him with it...) well when my husband came home with the court of honor stuff this was sent home with him as well...I had a free weekend so worked on this. started out with a small 6 inch version ( the 5 min. method) ,then worked on his the rest of the weekend.
This is what it started out as. by the way this is made of hickory on a 7 ft pole. not the easiest to work with. I had to use the power carver and the dremel to work on it. finished it off with a little bit of woodburning. sounds like he is going to finish it up the rest of the way himself.
this is how it turned out when I got done.
