And now for something completely different...

So my newest tangent is a bottle opener based on a viking ship figurehead:

Cast in solid bronze, they do a good job of ripping the top off a bottle (and pulling your pants down).

This one is based on a figurehead in the British Museum found in the river Schelde, Belgium.

I'm going to make some more based on other figureheads, but the others will take more time as they are sculpturally more complex.
