    Viking Pattern

    www.DeepwoodsVentures.com

    Even though he’s only 3” tall he still


    has that Viking raider attitude.

    Wood:
    Basswood or Tupelo is recom-
    mended for this carving due to the
    detail that can be added. I carved
    the example out of Basswood

    Copy at 100%

    Tools: I carved this guy with a Draper Detailer and a String Beaner.
    The horns, axe head, and axe handle are all carved separate and glued on
    Options:
    Axe or spear or ?: You can replace the axe with a spear or for the gentler viking, a ower-
    Hair: Burn the hair and mustache, use a string beaner, or the classic V- tool
    Painting: I used a metallic gold for the shield and helmet rivets, a straight grey for the axe and
    straightout of the bottle acrylic paints for the rest. I then used an antiquing gel to give him and over-
    all ‘dirty’ look.
    Other ideas; You could use your favorite football teams colors: Purple &Gold.
    Make the Helmet smooth and paint it chrome along with the shield. Paint your hostile takeover
    company’s logo on the Shield. Invert one horn to give him that looney look.

    Draper Detailer- Figured


    1- 5/8” Blade

    String Beaner - Plain


    3/4” Blade
