Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, was forged by Dwarven blacksmiths of the Asgardian metal uru. Not having any uru available to me I created my version of Mjolnir out of Hard Maple and Red Oak. The central head motif measures 4"x4" so it does have enough "heft" to live up to the charge that "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor."
Natasha started on this huge Hardanger project about a year ago and worked on it almost every day since. It is one breathtaking piece of work.
Three Cribbage Boards. The top photos are two of the nautical series.
The oval board series is designed around inset carvings which, in addition to the dragon, may include wildlife scenes, hunting scenes, in fact any image that can be rendered in relief.
