The weather has been nice for the last couple days, so ready to get back in the shop without the heaters. I decided I needed to start making some more Gnomes to get ready in case they have SWAT this year. This is Gardar Svavarsson, my version of a Viking Gnome. The wood is Cypress, the horns are deer antler and his shield is colorwood with a star washer as an accent, his helmet has a leather band around it. He's about 4 1/4" tall. Judging from the split in his helmet, he has seen his days of battle.

Cute little guy.
One thing though. Vikings didn't put horns on their helmets. That use to make my Danish father bristle with indignation every time he saw a show or commercial with them.
