A stunning Hnefatafl game board, masterfully carved from a single piece of Red Oak. True to his craft, Yarema embraces wood others might discard, transforming cracks and knots into unique, one-of-a-kind works of art. What some would have seen as flawed, he saw as an opportunity.
This board features two intertwined Urnes-style serpents encircling the Tafl grid, their elegant forms bringing the game to life. Complete with hand-carved Maple and Walnut playing pieces, the set also includes a buckskin pouch to keep them safe.
Once on the brink of being discarded, this piece has been reborn into a treasured work of art—one that you, your family, and your friends can enjoy for generations. After all, everyone loves a redemption story.
Red Oak Carved Urnes Hnefatafl Game
Every piece we create—whether showcased here, displayed in a gallery, or sold in person at an event or at our farmstead—is handcrafted with pride by our family right here in North Carolina. Each item is made one at a time, often to your specific order, using carefully chosen wood, leather, and other high-quality organic materials.
Your piece of art is truly unique. Natural variations in wood grain, knots, carve marks, and brush strokes ensure that no two creations are ever exactly alike. We embrace the individuality of every piece, crafting them with care and attention to detail. Rest assured, there is no mass production here—just one-of-a-kind artistry, made for you from our heart.
