Rune Study Group: Making your own set

[zorya]

help please

can't really buy the stones i need to make a set at this time, and don't have all the tools needed to cut wood discs. has anyone here made a set out of sticks? why or why not? how did they work? any advice on length? are they read any differently?

Zorya...never tried sticks...I think they might be a little fragile...
but to makes discs, you just need a small hacksaw or handsaw, and some sandpaper...and just find the right sized branches!...I'm making an ogam set that way!...

The easiest way, to tide you over til you can get the tools...

Just grab 24 pebbles from the beach or something, and write on the Runes with marker pen. Simple. They aren't very durable but they'll see you through until you've got the tools to make a moredurable set. I haven't tried sticks though...

I made mine out of 24 stones I collected from the beack at Nice!! Then I just painted the glyph on it with an earth coloured paint(burnt sienna to be exact)
