They were the most genuine runes I could find online, then I added slight flourishes to them to make them personalized. Honestly it's like getting a tattoo in Chinese... not a great idea. I am proud of the braids though. More to come.

 

I'm pretty sure there's more than one guy out there with "Kung Pao  Chicken" tattooed on him.

Great looking mallet.  Somehow I was expecting something a little heavier though. :)

Thor?

Take thome athpirin!  (I'm so sorry, I just couldn't resist...)

Love the wrap on the handle! (Grip? Handle? You know what I mean.)

Making some progress...:)

That thing is AWESOME!  I'd be sorely tempted to carry it wherever I go, and bash anyone that gets out of line.  :P

an oroborus?

An Egyptian oroburos on a mallet with Nordic runes? Is that a little strange ... or is it just me?

Kindest regards

In Norse mythology, the ouroboros appears as the serpent Jörmungandr, one of the three children of Loki and Angrboda, which grew so large that it could encircle the world and grasp its tail in its teeth.

Funny thing about mythology. wash, rinse... repeat.

P.S. It is just you :)

Cool, that will look excellent, have you a design for Jörmungandr in mind?

H

nothing to complicated. S curves for the body and a head. The hammered look suggests scales.

Thanks Mjolnir!  I knew there was a Norse equivalent Orobouros, but couldn't for the life of me remember - I even checked my Viking mythology books but couldn't find it at a quick look.  There's even a Native American version and if I remember right a Hindu version.  Commonalities in mythology throughout the world are a kind of startling at times!

PS  Please don't drop your Mjolnir on any airports when it's finished, thanks!
