Rune Set Elder Futhark Handmade Oak

Elder Futhark Rune Set, with bag.

This beautifully handmade set of Elder Futhark Runes will be a powerful addition to your ritual toolbox. I first cut narrow strips from oak boards, then cut out and shape each rune, after which I burn each of the 24 Elder Futhark Runes into it. They are then sanded smooth, stained, and finished with a beeswax wood conditioning polish. This process is quite time consuming, as each rune is created with great care, and attention to its individual character.

I do make one other style of rune set that is even more finely finished, including carved and inked runes, but this particular set is very finely crafted indeed.

This set of runes comes in a high quality black drawstring bag with an polished antler attachment. The bag has been hand stamped with a shop crafted rubber stamp design based on the raven image on the silver penny of viking king Anlaf Guthfrithsson.

Included with the runes: Drawstring bag, small info sheet with the Elder Futhark printed on it.
