wooden relief of Yggdrasil. 🌳

Maybe you need an altar-starter centerpiece, or a big cosmic representation that'll embody your Heathen Worldview. Well, here you go:

Straight outta Kyiv, Ukraine, are wood crafters Mihaylo & Olha Melnichuk of Blagowood. The above's a 15.7" H x 6.9" W stunning relief of Yggdrasil with all the worlds and accompanying tree-dwelling beasts.

But if that's a bit too large in terms of available shelf space or scale, here's an equally amazing version with somehow even more stylistically finer detail at only 9.1" H x 3.9" W:

And look, I know some of you out there are going to say "hey, there shouldn't be a doubled gebo in the rune line! You don't double letters!", and hey, you're probably right, though applying absolute syntax rules in a varied script that was commonly riddled by users' mistakes at that time is probably also way pedantic. But look, Blagowood has personalization options and can carve it for you without the doubled X, or you could pop a whole new kenning in there for it, if you actually wanted to prove what a language mastering skald you are, but the important thing here is all that sweet carving!
