Cedar Viking runestone

My upper elementary school students have been wood burning wooden runestones from cedar blocks that  I provided. The photo shows an example. 

The symbols are for the elements earth, air, fire and water, and the rune inscriptions identifying each are written in Elder Futhark. This project was proposed by their teacher in support of their study of the Vikings. I used an angle grinder to texture the edges. The cedar block was finished with shellac. 

Make, fix and create... assist others in learning likewise.
