Eindride Posted July 6, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Few of the items I've made. Although not ships they are replicas from the Oseberg ship burial. I've included pictures of the originals where possible. I'm in the process of making a new bed from beech as per the original. The one in the photos is pine.

Louie da fly Posted July 7, 2023 Share #2 Posted July 7, 2023 Very nice! I used to do Viking period re-enactment, and those artefacts are pretty amazing. I know what all of them are for except the little cylindrical thing in your hand(though I suppose I could make a guess - for spices, salt, something like that).

You're spot on with your guess. There were several in the grave they contained seeds. Canute, Louie da fly, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvchima Posted July 11, 2023 Share #7 Posted July 11, 2023 Eindride, I tried to comment a few days ago but it seems like the post did not take. Your work is beautiful! I love the carving on the bed headboards. But I think that you have made a mistake on the niddy noddy. The end pieces should be perpendicular to each other and not in the same plane. Then the yarn is wound as in the attached photo. I wonder if the Oseberg niddy noddy was crushed in the burial. My wife is a (former) hand weaver and spinner, and has done a lot of research on Vikings for a couple of recent novels. She informed me that the small wooden containers in the Oseberg burial contained cannabis seeds. I built the Billings model of the Oseberg ship a few years ago. There should be a link to gallery photos in my signature file.

Thank you, I said I wouldn't do another bed but I've started on one 😅 The Arms on the Oseberg Niddy Noddy's were in the same plane as far as research shows as they are attached by mortice and tennon joints. I've attached a photo of the original. Your wife is correct about the cannabis seeds in the small containers.

Egilman Posted July 13, 2023 Share #9 Posted July 13, 2023 49 minutes ago, Eindride said: They are ancient.... A painting by DaVinci... The title is Madonna of the Yarnwinder one of two versions painted by DaVinci circa 1501 to 1507 and presented to Florimond Robertet, a secretary to King Louis XII of France. From Wiki... Quote The composition shows the Virgin Mary seated in a landscape with the Christ child, who gazes at a niddy-noddy used to collect spun yarn. The niddy-noddy serves both as a symbol of Mary's domesticity and as a foreshadowing of the Cross on which Christ was crucified. The painting's dynamic composition and the implied narrative were highly influential on later High Renaissance depictions of the Madonna and Child by artists such as Raphael and Andrea del Sarto. It's an ancient tool with many useful purposes still in use today by yarn makers... king derelict, Canute, Eindride and 4 others 7 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
