Þórr (Thor) - the Thunderer
Þórr is the son of Óðinn and foremost warrior amongst the Æsir gods. With his hammer, Mjölnir, he defends Ásgarðr and Miðgarðr alike from jötnar—forces of chaos with a mindless appetite. For his strength, his courage, and his protection, he is a much-beloved god of mankind. He is known as a reliable friend to the working man, especially the farmer.
I recently completed this skurðgoð, or …

A couple of years ago, I was at a local lake when I chanced across an old 6x6 post lying in the woods. It was far from any trail, and evidently served no purpose in its location or manner of placement. I hoisted it onto my shoulder and carried it hundreds of feet back to my truck and brought it home. I already knew what I would do with it.
I hadn’t done much wood carving before this point, but I sketched some design…

Yngvi Freyr
Freyr, the brother of Freyja and noble son of the Vanir tribe, is a god of peace and prosperity. Cultivated fruits and vegetables surround him. His robes of green and gold, his crown, and his arm-rings all evoke his connection to wealth and fertility, as well as his rulership over Alfheim—the Realm of Elves—which was given to him as a tooth-gift in his youth. There is a faraway, longing look in his eyes…

Freyja
Behold, the fair maiden, Freyja. She is powerful in the magical arts of the Vanir tribe, and her beauty is otherworldly—making her an often sought bride by jötnar. Her hair is loose as a sign of her youth and independence, yet she longs dearly for her husband Óðr, who travels abroad. She cries tears of amber while she awaits his return. Her hair is also red-gold, symbolic of sacred wisdom in the Eddic lore. U…

Frigga
Here stands Frigga, the great mother goddess and wife of Óðinn. Wise and loving, she cradles an infant in one arm. In the other, she holds a great distaff—a tool used for holding loose fibers that are spun into thread, as well as a symbol for women’s work, creativity, and other roles related to weaving social bonds and even fate. Her ashen hair is tied in a crown braid, with one end draping over her shoulder.…

Óðinn
My next drawing features Óðinn, the chieftain of the Æsir tribe. He is known by a hundred names, possibly more, and some can be seen written in runes behind his head. He stands clad in richly ornamented robes of royal blue, gold, and red, beneath which a mailcoat and coif can be seen, demonstrating his readiness for war. He holds the great spear, Gungnir, in one hand, which resembles a stylized shield handle f…

Baldr
My first drawing from the Æsir pantheon depicts Baldr, the bright son of Óðinn and Frigg. He stands in Breiðablik, where nothing impure may enter, thus he wears no shoes which may track in debris from outside. Though he is spoken of as a brave and renowned warrior, his sword is sheathed as a sign of peace, and his shield—adorned with a sonnenrad—rests at his side. In his hand, he holds a scentless mayweed, als…

My name is Shade.
Here, I will post pictures of my artwork and sometimes talk about the methods I use when I am creating, my sources of inspiration, or other musings.
The crafts I share here will mostly be drawings and carved idols depicting the Gods and Goddesses of the ancient Germanic faith.
I do not currently have an online store, but I hope to set one up in the near future so people may order pieces…

Showing the 10 most recent of 10 posts we hold for @crosstimberscrafts. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
