New Viking Serpent Staff

Starting to return to wood burning by trying out my new pyrography machine and made this wonderful piece!

It displays a textured Viking serpent which historically had multivalent meanings, both positive and negative depending on context. The serpent is coiled around a 5’5″ piece of strong Rhode Island maple wood without being burdened by too much weight. The surface is smooth to the touch and finished off with a varnish of boiled linseed oil.
