From Unearthing Hedeby by Kurt Schietzel

For reference: in Unearthing Hedeby you can see how a soapstone cauldron is excavated.

Soapstone Viking project

Started a new soapstone project: A Viking cauldron as is found in #Hedeby.
First I have to make the rough outside shape before I start. This is done with an ordinary woodsaw. It’s now also better to handle because less weight.

Klein krukje

My oak and hazelnut little medieval stool. A variety with 4 legs had been found in Hedeby. This is my recreation. #viking #hedeby #haithabu
