Oooh, kaunista katseltava arkkupakkomielteiselle. Ne on vaan niin nättejä. Onko tuo replika jostain alkuperäisestä, ihan oikeasti viikinkiaikaisesta arkusta?

Great piece. Tell me more about the finish you used and why?
Also, what is the inside like?

On the inside there's nothing special really. The surface on the inside is quite plain since I haven't chiseled it as I have done on the outside, but finish is the same. I should maybe put a picture of the inside here as well.

First layer I used a mixture of linseed oil and "umbra" (don't know if that's what it is in English) and after that I painted it with a thin layer of tar. Looks quite good and smells great
