Good trick with the spray and pliers to 'help' along a simple model - I would often build these kind of things as a kid and warping was an issue too. Back then I didn't know about formers and of course would just slap the glue on, and my Dad would have done the cutting if a knife was required...

Hmmmm. Old Norse detected. Could this be some ancient Viking poetry?
I'm wildly guessing at a translation: "There on the heath a "ringed stefna" stood Isig and Utfus, fair noblemen." Got to watch out for those stefnas, especially the ringed ones

Whoa - A miss is as good as a mile. It is Anglo-Saxon (Old English) and the account is of the ship-burial of Scyld the valiant (lines 25 and 26 in JRR Tolkien's masterful translation)
"There at the haven stood with ringed prow, ice-hung, eager to be gone, the prince's bark...."
