Cellar Hoard

We’ve made some sets of wooden tablets for card weaving, based on the Oseberg finds and measurements.

The Oseberg ship was a Viking longship burial from the 9th century in Norway. It contained the remains of two women and a lot of well preserved artifacts from daily life.

The lighter wood is maple, the cards between 4.3 and 4.5 cm. The darker wood is walnut, that, while not Viking period, is pretty.

Have we been busy restocking since the summer, yes.

Looking forward to the Feast of the Hare event in Ottawa on November 22nd. See you there with some favourites and new things reproduced.

I had a lot of fun recreating these Viking age English lucets.

Lucets are used to make cordage as trim or strong cord for tying.
