The weather has been nice for the last couple days, so ready to get back in the shop without the heaters. I decided I needed to start making some more Gnomes to get ready in case they have SWAT this year. This is Gardar Svavarsson, my version of a Viking Gnome. The wood is Cypress, the horns are deer antler and his shield is colorwood with a star washer as an accent, his helmet has a leather band around it. He’s about 4 1/4” tall. Judging from the split in his helmet, he has seen his days of battle.

Cool! Looks like a trouble maker. What is SWAT? Also, what did you use for hair, because that ain’t all different from mine. I’d have a ready source. 8^D

Thanks for comments, they are appreciated. SWAT stands for South West Association of Turners, they have a large turners symposium every year in Waco, Texas. At the Saturday night banquet, different association clubs make table pieces for the tables. The people at their table draws a number and the winning number gets the table piece.
The hair is faux fur from Hobby Lobby and comes in different colors.
