I have to say, pretty fucking cool. Given that I go to A LOT of celtic festivals I am well versed in the dedication that is given to the art. I love it. You definitely need to post pics as you go :)

Very cool. I like the pendants hanging on it. How long does it take to make something like that?

With my perverted mind I thought my Master had made a Medieval condom.

Do you think anyone else is getting aroused?  Not that you or I are, but you never can tell about other members here.
