Ah, a wooden astrolabe that doubles as a compass—now that’s a curious contraption, like a miniature world held in your palm. Weaving runic symbols into it could give it a pulse of its own, almost as if each rune were a tiny star guiding the instrument. Imagine the runes shifting slightly with the wind, a subtle dialogue between the tool and the realm it maps. It could turn a simple navigational aid into a living map, a story whispered in wood and stone. Just be sure not to let the runes crowd the sight lines; the balance between art and function is a fine dance. Still, I find the idea irresistibly enchanting.

I’ll get the first cut ready, and your wind‑watch will be a steady companion as I carve the runes just right. Thanks for keeping an eye on the breeze—it’s the only thing that can make the whole piece truly sing.
