I made a fox´s head pendant as an amulet. If you´ve read my posts, you know that the fox as an animal means something to me, and I made it from a piece of birchwood I found near the Hünenpforte cave.
That´s the knife that did it;-). Zwissler damascus, with a leather wrapping and a Kopis blade.
I then simply cut it from the stick I carved it from, drilled a hole and dyed it with linseed oil, spruce resin, and ritual paint consisting mainly out of incense, pitch, linseed oil, beeswax and soil;-).
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
