OutNumbered Novelties' Sharp and Pointy Things

**Alvrodul** · April 20th, 2011, 08:15 AM

OutNumbered Novelties definitely deserves its own thread! Rich is a very nice guy, and he makes such cool hairtoys, and anybody who likes to use a small weapon to keep her hair disciplined would no doubt be delighted to give one of the items from his Wooden Hair Armory a try!

So here are some of the items I have bought:
Dúrin axe in padouk wood. Gorgeous color, isn't it? The name is taken from the Voluspá in the Poetic Edda, and Tolkien "borrowed" it for his own stories - his Dúrin the Deathless was one of the first Dwarves.

Dvalin axe in Cardinal wood and Black and White Ebony. Again a name from the Voluspá that Tolkien borrowed.

Then there is Aeglos - this spear was a custom, and it seems this design has become quite popular!

I was very particular about the woods I wanted for my spear, and it turned out very well indeed!

And yes, it was named for Gil-Galad's spear!

I have ordered a hair axe from this shop, the artist is very nice and the things they sell are amazing. I can not wait for my hair axe to get here.

I've been watching this shop for a while. I love the idea of Hair weapons.

Beautiful stuff -- and I love that he calls this section of his shop the "Hair Armory."

I've also been watching his shop for a while and I really like his hair armory. I fear they are all too big for my tiny buns though.

That's what customs are for! If you contact him, he will no doubt be delighted yo make an axe or spear to your specifications!

Wow those look beautiful - especially Dvalin, although that makes me think of the "Batman" logo a bit

I so want this stick from OutNumbered Novelties, I can not afford it right now but I am hoping it will be there when I do, or something similar, it is such a fun piece.

I am waiting for a piece that I have bought from the shop, a Anna's Execution hair axe in acrylic and wood. I can not wait for it to get here.

I have some to show too

Durin in Padauk

Durin in Bocote and Lignum Vitae

His axes on Etsy have gotten waaaay too long for me, else I'm sure I would have a much larger collection. I do plan to put in for a custom at some point in the future, I would love an axe stick pair (among other things

)
