Interesting info. Ever since I taught a high school mythology elective for 15 years, I have been fascinated by Viking lore, and my students were always the most intrigued by Norse mythology.

In preparation for a recent craft fair, I turned a replica of a thousand year old Viking bowl found in Dublin, Ireland. It is made with Ash, the same as Yggdrasil, the sacred Ash tree that supported the cosmos in Norse mythology. Turning wood (sort of) keeps me sane during our current nightmare.
