Bushman Survival

And I LOVE what I do, I love bringing your ideas to life in the form of intricate carvings onto anything made from Bone, Wood or Steel. Whether that be your favourite animal onto a Viking Shield or transferring Tattoos onto the face of a Bearded Axe!

The main products in my shop are Viking Inspired pieces but I do also work on modern day, Roman, fantasy, LARP, DND or basically anything really 🙂

Customised Shields – are my main focus. I take a customers ideas and create a concept idea. An example of which is a Shield I am making at the moment. A lady and her partner have 6 girls and a boy, wanted the ‘scales of justice’, love lions, is an author and they all love the Viking Age. The concept drawing was created with the scales in the centre, her cubs around the outside, the couple as Lions at the top in a love heart with an open book featuring the names of her clan carved onto the pages.

Customised Axes – having worked on almost 500 customised axes I have done all sorts of designs. From 3 different Gods of War for 3 brothers all serving in the Special Forces, Pizza Axe wedding favours for an Olympians wedding. My current work is making 2 axes for a couple to present to each other at their Hand Binding Ceremony (a pagan wedding), each designed the others axe! I combined their ideas and loves and worked with them separately to ensure that the axes matched without giving anything away before their big day.

Drinking Horns – Each of my horns have different designs carved into them however all carry tales from different Norse Mythology! From Thor’s Fishing Trip which ended up creating the Tides to Ragnarök which depicts the End of Days. The horns are typically a 500ml (1 pint) size however; they go from 50ml shot glasses up to 5 litre monsters!
I aim to make something that is completely customized to you that you can’t find anywhere else! To work closely with you to bring your ideas to life and to do it with passion.

Viking Games – these include hand made Bone Dice sets to exquisite Viking Chess compendiums featuring HaflTafl, Chess, Dominoes, Draughts, Playing Cards and more. From garden games like Kubb to games you can play on a table top like Liars Dice. I also do Bone DnD dice sets, Elder Futhark Runes and much more.

Medieval Furniture – Typically this is all based on archaeological finds like the famous Mastermyr Chest, a Vikings Sea chest used as luggage, stool, table and even a bench for rowing on. Gorgeous live edge wooden tables & benches which allow 4 burly warriors with their armour to sit and eat whilst designed to set up and tear down easily and still fit into the boot of a reenactors car! I also make coffee coasters, candle holders, chopping boards, wooden troughs, horn bowls and matching cutlery sets for either modern day BBQs or for use in Living History displays.

Pagan Jewellery – a Norse feel to most of my jewellery from authentic Arm Rings and Torcs to Thor’s mighty Mjolnir pendants. Some of these are based on actual finds and grave goods from places like Birca.

Bushcraft Tools – from modern day Viking Seax Knives to fire lighting kits. Again I try and allow a high level of customisation to my pieces. This allows people to add their names in Runes, simple designs or even logos.

I try and have a good selection of items that people can work on however I also pride myself on bringing unusual ideas to life. Some of my more unusual commissions have been an Ashes Urn, Museum replicas of a Monks writing desks for Living History, a 6ft War Hammer, a Viking Tent, an 8ft Manga Sword and a digging trowel for a newly qualified Archaeologist!
