About Altars
Altars have been used across almost every human culture and tradition — Norse, Celtic, Roman, Greek, and beyond — as a focal point for offerings, ritual, and connection to the divine. A carved wooden altar brings that tradition into your home in a form that's genuinely made by hand, not mass-produced.
I bought several sets of the hinges and locks for some Norse style chests I was making. All I can say is this craftsman is excellent, the hinges work really well and are in keeping with my project. The lock and key is to the same superb standard, work well and really finish a sea chest off perfectly. I'm very happy with my purchases, fast delivery and well packaged. Excellent value for money considering the work that must go into these items.
