Thanks. It's kind of a weird hybrid of styles. I sent a lot of time looking at the widely varied styles that represent the different 'Nordic' traditions. There are several websites out there that the most insanely breathtaking work shown. And as always I used my 'crafting imperatives sixpack'...'use mostly the materials you have on hand, incorporate something you found, honor the traditions whose original designs inspired it, ensure that all the different aspects are unified, do the absolute best job you can and make the inevitable mistakes look intentional'. That last one is how the Reindeer found his way onto the pipe. lol
