Viking Ship Carving Wood Identification

Have this carving of a Nordic ship that is big and carved from a single piece of wood, am asking for help identifying the wood its made from. The iconography pretty much points to the Viking realm. It measures 5'H x 5'W and it is only carved on one side, the backside is flat, more made to jut up against a wall. Hopefully you can point me in the right direction as to what type wood it is and any advice as to find out how old it would be, thx in advabce.

 

Is there any way we can see the back of the carving.....to see the UN-carved side...and maybe some graining??? From what I can see, it looks kind of neat, but the short angle isn't showing a lot....at least....to ME!!

 

Best I can do for now, it's inaccessible till later this week.

 

unless u find a photo of it .....or another made there same way with documentation ..

I see no way to date it.....other than as it presents now...imo....it's less than 25 years old..

 

The origin is probably a clue to the wood.
The Scottish and Manx are also into Viking style crafts, because of the Viking Kingdom of the Isles in that region, etc.
The type of ship is a Drakkar. The sun symbol on the sail is unusual, maybe that is a clue to the origin?

 

Maybe somebody can tell what type of wood it would be?

 

Hard to tell from these pics. A stright on pic of the back might help.

 

Inaccessible till this weekend, I'll see if I can go by there then, thx..
