Runes Set & Box: "Helm and Compass"; hardwood Nordic Elder Futhark Runes in Decorative Wooden Box Tray, laser-engraved and customizable

$96.80 $110.00


Within this uniquely designed box is a set of finely detailed, beautiful hardwood Elder Futhark runes, as well as a more modern interpretation of the 24 runes - a set of runic dice! This captivating set is sure to delight anyone interested in runic divination and Nordic lore, and can make a fantastic gift for that special Viking or runic enthusiast in your life!
The chest components have been precisely cut and decorated with a high-powered laser engraver, then the parts are hand assembled using a cyanoacrylate glue specifically formulated for wood, creating an incredibly strong bond. The method of layered construction for the box makes for a very durable creation, certain to last many years and readings! The box top is decorated with an engraving of Aegishjalmur, the "Helm of Awe", a stave symbol of protection, surrounded by the 24 runes of the Elder Futhark. The interior floor of the box/tray is engraved with Vegvisir, the "Viking Compass", also a symbol of protection pertaining to travels, whether physical or spiritual. The further decorative particulars are attained by use of two different wood stains, an oil base for the body of the box and a water-based stain for the interior wall pieces. The box opens into a tray format, quite suitable for casting the runes or dice into. The runes are crafted from 100% hardwood (buyer's choice), and have a great hand feel and resiliency. The runes backs are left plain to allow the natural beauty of the wood to shine through. Two runic styles are available; hollow (outlined) and solid (filled). The dice are created from birch ply, like the box. Due to the individual die size, only the solid-styled runes are available for engraving on the dice set. Satin lacquer protects the surfaces of all the components in the set.

PLEASE NOTE: All of my items are crafted by me, in my home studio and workshop. I am a one-man show, with no ‘production partners’ to help mass-produce any item (though I will source pawns, etc. from quality reputable dealers). Be assured that when you buy an item from me, you are getting a distinctive creation from the original maker. Given the inherent nature of the handcrafted work, time frames for more complex creations, whether the complexity is the art, the build, or a combination of both, can be extensive. Please be patient; I communicate and update customers regularly with the status of their unique creation(s).

Frequently Asked Questions

Wholesale availability

Due to the nature of the majority of my work, and the typical amount of business that comes through my shop, wholesale items are not available.

Custom and personalized orders

Please contact me before placing an order should you desire customizations not outlined or offered in any particular listing.

Holiday ordering

During the Christmas holiday season, I can quickly become VERY busy; typically putting in 12 hour days in order to make holiday shipping deadlines.
Please plan ahead - I begin taking Christmas orders in late August, but due to workload, I will close the shop to further made-to-order requests the first week of December. Ready to ship items remain listed and ship as stated in their listing.

Shipping times

In the case of any custom or Made To Order item, I try very hard to meet the listed production/ship time for the listed item. However, I am a one-man shop, and the handcrafted nature of the work, particularly during busy periods, can cause delays. If you require your item by a specific date, please inquire first. I do not rush the work, as I want each piece to be exceptional and worthy to the person purchasing it. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and of course, your patronage!
