Let me know what you think,

-Ben
It's an absolute beauty! I like it very much!
Peter's a lucky guy!
Fine work there; your staves are never uninteresting.

M.
I like how his beard is part of the grain of the wood

After seeing Ben's first staff, I contacted him to make one with a Norse theme and within a day he had come up with some drawings. This is what came out of that. Needless to say I am thrilled by Ben"s creation and will be using the staff in a couple of weeks. The making of this project was incredibly fast ( about three weeks) and Ben was terrific to deal with.
If anybody needs a knife or staff I highly recommend Ben.

Seconded. Ben is absolutely fantastic to work with!
Wondrous!
Looks great! I like the carving of the face.

Next time, it would be perhaps better to carve the runes instead of burning them, and maybe not make them that "computer font" straight and neatly divided into words. :D I know it's more readable that way, but I think it would look better if you would catch the feel of the runic inscriptions from archaeological finds - like these runic inscriptions from Bergen, found on small disposable sticks:

And then you have to paint them. Red. You know with what. :p
