Maryland Renaissance Festival 2013

The following are some photos of the Maryland Renaissance Festival.

It's always a great time with music and sights and sounds.

I wanted to feature the handy work of sword maker and artist

William Lloyd who has a pavilion at the fair. I encourage everyone

who is visiting this year to stop by and see his incredible work.

William Lloyd's work!

Brother Art with his killer ax making his natural face expression.

I love this knife! Can anyone guess why?

Amazing! Check out the detail on the handle.

WOW!

Sorry this one is not real clear but all you Viking fans

would love this one.

Dragon carved on a Moose antler!.....Simple amazing!

I hope to go back and enjoy the fair again and also

to see these amazing pieces of art work.

(If they have not been sold!)

Modern Day Viking Ship

Amazing knotwork and craftsmanship for a modern day Viking vessel from the

photo collection of Warsztaty Wolin 2012. These photos are from the web site

DeviantArt.com

Make sure you zoom in and see the details on this ship!

The Oak King (Preliminary Sketches)

In some Celtic legends the Oak King and Holly King

battle for supremacy as the wheel of time turns and

the seasons also. The Oak King ruling in the summer

months and The Holly King in the winter months. Each 

being defeated as the summer and winter months come and go.

I had the idea of doing my renditions of both. These are a few

preliminary sketches. Each king will have his own special 

sword used in battle. (Stay tuned for more to come)

Food for thought no matter what religion you are!

Ax Handle almost complete!

Brother Steve's Ax handle project almost complete. Nice knotwork! I think all we need is

a little stain and some Viking Funk applied!
