Let me know what you think,

It's not that I would trade my lot
For any other man's,
Nor that I will be ashamed
Of my work torn hands-
For I have chosen the path I tread
Knowing it would be steep,
And I will take the joys thereof
And the consequences reap.

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.

This is a standard topic
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:
