Re: Designs for list poles?

If those where gleaned from Master Terafon's site then it is the design he and Master Daffyd ap Gwystl developed years ago in Atlantia. I made one set for the Canton of Brockore Abbey.

These go together quick and fast and make a great Shire/Barony project.

That being said - I hope that you all remember that this method is yet to be proven. I hope it proves to be durable.
