Full Guard Wooden Rondel Daggers.

Rondel daggers had a wide guard. Why should we train with those that come narrow guard, leaving the hand unprotected and leading to a different fighting style?

These handmade rondel daggers have a full guard of approx. 7.5cm diameter (that is almost 3 in).

Tested and used by HEMA and ARMA instructors and members around the world! Excellent feedback!!!

Olive Wood Bowl, Children of the Forest

An olive wood bowl, with a name inspired from the well known HBO series, Game of Thrones. I call this one, Children of the Forest. I believe that, should the Children of the Forest existed, they would eat from such bowls.

It can be used as a decorative item, but you could also serve dry food in it!

Pair of Purse / Compact Mirrors with Greek Olive Wood!

Two more of my mirrors!

The wood is olive wood. They have a similar grain pattern as they came from the same brunch, so I decided to list them together!

They would make a great gift for every occasion where you like to make a present to two best friends, two sisters, a mother and a daughter, etc.




They come with a velvet pouch!

Check them in my shop:

This small bowl was hand crafted from Greek olive wood. The brunch I used was cut during seasonal pruning, so the tree was not harmed just to make something out of it!

Finished with oil and wax, it feels all natural to the touch!
