Craft Viking Ceremonial Staff Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2020
- This is a super easy DIY handmade Viking/Pagan Staff for your Photoshoot, ceremony, wedding, cosplay or whatever you want to use it for!
I'll explain you step by step how to create an absolute individual piece of art. You are completely free to use whatever materials you like. Instead of a skull you could also use a nice stone or crystal. Instead of using a woodburning machine for the decoration, you can simply use acrylic paint. There are so many possibilities and it's easy. A lot of work, but easy. :)
What's the important thing: it's cheap! I found the skull on Ebay for 16€, I found the feathers on the street and the stick in the woods. Only the leather bands were bought for 5€ or something. The bones are from a chicken I cooked for the dogs. :) Be creative, you don't have to be rich to create!
Have fun! And leave a comment or subscribe if you liked it. More viking craft themed videos are planned. :)

Personally for these projects I use pvc pipes because I do not live in a area with big sticks but after adding some fabric,bones etc makes everything come together!
Excellent project! I am sure it has infused with your energy as you made it & will continue as you use it. One tip: if you spray the leather bands holding the skull with water, as it dries it will shrink & tighten the grip on the staff, making it even more solid. Great job!
Wow that's one great advice! Thank you!!! 😊
@@jointhedogmom103 You are very welcome!
Interesting staff...very strong !!!
Thank you
🧙♂️👍
im acctually working on a druidic viking staff right now and this video has helped me out, ty very much man
Welcome to the Channel Levi! I am glad my video helped you out a little! Have a lot of fun creating your own staff!!!
Druids were Celt, Vikings are Nordics.
Just an FYI, if you don't have a wood-burning tool, you can use a Dremel or other rotary tool with a spherical burr to dig out the designs, and then just use a black acrylic or ink wash to stain the lines.
I like making walking sticks. I carve. On them wood burn too. And sand and stain them. It a good hobby for me. ,,
That's a really nice hobby! 🥰
Waaauuuwww estas hermosa🙏💐😂
THANK YOU 🌲
this looks sick!
Thank you! ❤ Maybe should call it "sick stick for vikings" 😉 😜
Was ich wirklich an diesem Video mag?
Es zeigt das man auch mit super simplen Methiden erfolg erzielen kann und das im low budget bereich.
Top! =)
Dankeschön! Ja, genau das wollte ich zeigen. Alles ist Möglich und für alles gibt es irgendeine Lösung 😊👍
Awesome finnaly found a video on making a staff with a animal skull thank u for making this
Das hilft mir sehr weiter, wirklich gutes Tutorial, danke dafür !
Das wird der absolute Blickfang auf dem nächsten LARP
Danke! Es freut mich riesig zu hören, dass es dir weiterhilft! Dann viel, viel Spaß beim Handwerkern ;)
Good job! I've been working on staffs, too, and you've given me some ideas.
Thank you! I am really glad to hear that I gave some inspiration 🥰
@@jointhedogmom103 Oh, a tip if you continue seeking out wood for staffs. I've found that a pocket folding saw can be a real time saver. A knife for shaving off dead bark while you're out in the woods is good, too. Just be careful about your hands. I learned that the hard way!
I seek out deadwood like your example; in fact, I found a wonderful one today! Long and straight, the bark crumbled right in my hands, revealing strong wood. It found me, I believe. I'll use either boiled linseed oil or spar urethane so the wood's beauty will show through.
I also always feel like the wood finds me. If it's supposed to be, it will be. Thank you very much for your advice! I just started crafting, mental (in)stability doesn't allow me yet to do it regularly. But better times are coming. Have a lot of fun!!! 🥰
@@jointhedogmom103 Those better times will come indeed. Stay well!
Hi! I like how your staff turned out!
If you pick the right kind of wood you won't need varnishing in order to protect it from elements.
I usually make my hiking sticks out of chestnut (especially from trees regrown after being cut down) or Black Locust (Robinia Pseudoacacia).
Larch is also a good pick, as it is almost complely waterproof, with the dowside of darkening quite a lot on the long run and possibly being a bit sticky.
As a finishing, I usually burn the bottom tip on a flame until it blackens evenly (to harden it) and apply olive oil on the whole piece to make the natural colors of the wood stick out nicely.
Grüße aus Italien!
Oh thank you so much! Oh this is super interesting! I can imagine that sticks made out of chestnut wood look super good 😍 I took what I could find and the Linden wood, that we got here around Berlin a LOT, is really nice for staffs as well. It's so nice to hear from other people around the world crafting staffs too! Awesome! 🥰
sehr gut gemacht 👍
Dankeschön 😊
Thats a nice walking stick i make a lot of them but not that ornate but i did have a DNA test done and it said i was mostly British but i have some Swedish and Norwegian DNA i guess that why i have always liked that kind of stuff. and i use one of my sticks to help me walk every day and i make them the same way as yours.
Thank you so much! 😊
Oh wow, that's really nice! I do think too that our ancestors guide us more than we think and people like us... well. Our ancestors liked sticks 😜😊
@@jointhedogmom103 Its all in the DNA all are past lives i also have some German DNA from the far west but both side of my family came to the US in the early 1700 and Germany was not the same back then i think is was Prussia.
What makes up British DNA? It's Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Scandanavian, German and French is the main percentages of British DNA.

Beautiful.
A suggestion, instead of using a knife to debark and deknob? A small hand axe/hatchet could be just as effective and faster. To me it also brings a much closer connection to the ancestors of old.
It`s a pity, but we do not know almost anything about viking\scandinavian pagan priests, ceremonies, and so on. But this is nice try 😁😁
Vädligt bra :)
Tack så mycket!!!
Looks awesome. I'm thinking of making a more Mesopotamian themed one since I'm a Mesopotamian pagan.
I am thinking about making a new video with a pagan themed stick. Do you think this would be nice? :)
Cool staff, though vikings, or their völvas used spinners as staffs, the thing you use when twining wool, and its probably cheaper then buying those materials i presume, also instead of dulling a scissor cuting sand paper , folt it wit the sandy side inward and tear it off, use a bench or table if you are afraid 9f not getting it straight.
Thank you very much for these information! Didn't know that yet! 😊
The truth is that we don't absolutely know for sure what the völvas used, as there's no contemporary written record of them. Iron rods have been found in some of the burials and are theorized to be völvas staffs. It is also theorized that wooden staffs were also used, but as they would have deteriorated there's no trace of them left after a thousand years.
Cool projects but "Viking" druid Staff now thats a stretch. Walking stick sure but not what you call it.
My question why varnish your staff? I guess I understand to protect it like another wood. I guess when I made my staff something told me to keep it as natural as I could. I used a bees wax butcher block treatment to help protect it. And I'm not sure if it's right now after study but I gave my staff a copper "shoe" to protect its foot. A plate of copper wrapped on the bottom and about a half inch up. But nice video.
Will any size bones work I have some leg bones from a deer and was gonna sting them around the staff
Hey! Yes of course! Just use your imagination and creativity. I think this can look really good with bigger bones. You might just need a better glue or wires or leather bands. Have fun!! 😊
Very nice, but, from what I understand a "Volva's" staff/rod was made from iron, or, possibly a distaff/drop spindle! Anyway, nice staff. 🙂
We have the iron rods because those are the ones that have survived 1000 years in a burial mound. It is theorized that wooden staffs were also used, but there's no trace of them left after all this time
Is there a museum that has an example of one?
Oh well not that I'd know. This is more about aesthetic and fantasy than being historically original or realistic. :) I hope this is not a problem for you. This is how I would imagine a ceremonial staff at the very very old ages.
The Oseberg Ship burial has an iron rod that is theorized to have been a völvas staff. There are a few other female graves that contained iron rods as well. Wood staffs would not have survived from the Viking age since that was over a thousand years ago
What is the skull at the top?
it's a wild boar skull
Why varnish and not like Linseed oil? Great staff btw
Hey thanks for your question (and compliment ^-^)! Maybe you can tell me, why linseed oil? I am still pretty new to the wood work stuff and thought that it might be better to varnish it, if it need to withstand rain and snow and dirt and all of that. Would linseed oil have worked too? I'd be interested :) I'd love to learn that natural materials can protect wood, just as a chemical varnish does. :) have a great day!
@@jointhedogmom103 I've used linseed oil on staffs and it works well, especially if on deadwood that's been stained beneath the bark with fungus. The oil really brings the staining out, and the results can be beautiful.
Interesting project but i dont think soldering hammer is for burning wood... Use special wood burning tool better 😉
Thank you! Oh maybe the filming angle wasn't good enough but I can assure you I bought a woodburning tool. At least it was advertised as one and I still use it now almost 2 years later for woodburning projects and nothing else ;)
But yes, I highly recommend using a woodburning tool and nothing else.
That was defo a wood burning tool and not a soldering iron 😂😂
That’s cool!
I made one from a hollow metal 6ft long pipe and cut them into 3 separate sections so I can connect and disconnect them any time.
My staff has many use, it can be a chair AND it can stored survival items inside. I wrap the metal staff with fake wood tape so it can look like wood. 😂
My staff has a compass on top and a window breaker at the bottom plus the hand cordage at the top to give it a grip for my hands. The only thing I did not make are the Viking symbols and I’m debating if I want to make a staff holder to hold my staff when I’m not using it.
Sehr schön geworden.
Ich liebe Pagan und Viking stuff.
Meine Lieblingsrune ist Mannaz.
Mache auch Musik wo auch solche Themen verarbeitet werden. ;)
