Black armour and a drinking horn
After messing around with the cow and Buffalo horn in the making of the armor, I thought it would be great to try something more traditional - hence the drinking horn. The one shown can hold 1 1/2 pints of whisky (or any other beverage). After a day scraping and filing the outer layers off this great looking black streak revealed its self.
The two knots are a sort of heel knot with a 6 string strap attached, probably about as much viking as the western style concho I used to attach one end of the strap, but I,m not viking either!
Lastly I finally managed to one, get my son in the armour and two, have a nice warm day (a rare event indeed in Scotland this summer) to get a photo of the finished piece. I did enjoy making it but am also very glad that it is finished, I do plan at some point to write a tutorial about making it but it will be a biggy so will wait awhile until I have a few days free.
