    Description

    Here is a Handmade set of Northumbrian runes.
    The runes are made from an ancient Elm tree's root ball,
    That had grown on a river bank.
    Cut from a huge, old tree that died naturally.
    I harvested the root ball many years ago, and cut pieces from it,
    Letting it naturally season out and dry for several years.
    This gives the wood a Unique, distinctive wood grain pattern
    Not found on most woods.
    The Runes were carefully hand engraved on each piece,
    buffed to a very smooth finish, and given Many layers of natural Varnish
    To seal and protect it for many, many years of use.
    The case is custom made for the set, and is made of Tulip Poplar,
    Also harvested by me, from my own woods, from a storm felled tree.
    Also with many coats of fine, natural varnish and buffed to a smooth
    Finish.
    The Varnish i use is a very old recipe, and similar to the natural varnish
    used by Violin makers for centuries.
    The Northumbrian runes are an extension of the Anglo-Saxon runes,
    which in turn are an extension of the Elder Futhark rune set.
    The Northumbrian runes add 4 more runes to the Anglo-Saxon set making
    the total of 33 runes. Again due to the set up of the Anglo-Saxon runes,
    you may see this set also being referred to as the Northumbrian Futhork.
    This is a genuine hand made, one of a kind set, unlike many others you will
    find that are mass produced from cut plywood and engraved with a Laser etch machine,
    Then using stencils and spray paint to finish it,
    Often Made in China, and Passed off as "Hand made"
    Please feel free to check my feedback, and ask questions,
    if you're unsure of my quality and dedication to
    Making fine, real things for people.
