ÆTI
(A LIFETIME)
Originally carved into the jawbone of a porpoise and dated to around 1000 A.D.⠀This calendar/pendant, commonly known as Worm’s Norwegian runic calendar, displays only the winter season. The other half, the summer season, was carved on the opposite side of the jawbone.⠀
Unfortunately, the summer season was never copied and the piece has since been lost.⠀
This paddle is my attempt to keep this last half from also fading into the annals of history.
WOOD -- Red Cedar
CARVED -- Without power tools (using a drawknife and spokeshaves)
DESIGN -- Etched with Charcoal
SANDED -- 1,500 grit, by hand
FINISH -- Varathane
YEAR -- 2018
