A lucet is a tool used in cord-making or braiding which is believed to date back to the Viking and Saxon and early Medieval periods, when it was used to create cords that were used on clothing, or to hang items from the belt. Lucet cord is square, strong, and slightly springy. It closely resembles knitted cord. Lucet cord is formed by a series of loop like knots, and therefore will not unravel if cut. This is made from wood this current batch from YEW Wood which has a great Pink to colouration.
These Lucets are reputed to be a viking /saxon brading tool, These are made from Yew and polished with beeswax colours may vary. Check with your Authenticity officers to see if allowed upon your WYC as some societies are not happy with the provenance of the Lucet
The current batch have been made from Yew wood and finished in beeswax . Price is for 1 item only.
Living History is making history come to life, and there are groups around the country that weekend in and weekend out (and some days in between) will set up a living history encampment, although at the moment my pages are focused generally upon the Migration, Saxon/Viking age, many of the items are transferable to other periods such as Roman and Crusade and earlier/later.
We hope this section can provide you with items to enhance your display, and if you're not a re-enactor, then also to enhance your home.
Please note that some wooden items may no longer be in stock throughout event season however please contact me to replicate anything you may see and like.
