I really enjoy the new Viking show on television.  I wanted to make a drinking horn and I knew that they had made hundreds of them for the Viking movie with Kirk Douglass and Tony Curtis.  Trouble was I needed a scrimshaw grade horn.  I eventually found one in auction and paid a few bucks for it but is was brass mounted and really cool.  I had to really do a lot of work on this one to make it a good functioning drinking horn.

It is engraved from top to bottom with period art.

The Tree of life...

Symbols for luck and good fortune in battle...

Dragons...

Ravens and the Horns of the All Father.  This piece really has to be held to be appriciated... it really is awesome!
