I also think most of the books show carving on Basswood or Butternut, which carve a bit different than pine.

Revival clothing is a re-seller of imported product if that matters to you. Are you sure about Revival clothing?

My airsoft pellets are hard plastic. I heard they were using some sort of foam or rubber ones for the spear heads, but my spear passed inspection without modification so I never saw what they were using in the way of pellets.

You can get babbit ingots from RotoMetals, the same place many people on the AA order pewter from.
Cost ranges from $4-$17/lb depending on the alloy, some are lead based, some are tin based.

Re: How to edge a shield with leather.
I don't think the glue or soaking is necessary if you use 6-8 oz leather that is reasonably pliable. I did my last couple of shields by just starting in one spot, clamping, drilling, and saddle stitching along the entire edge. Only need 2 clamps this way too.

Leo, I don't think your experience with the closed mindedness of Middle Kingdom equestrian has been true for at least the last 3-4 years. We have had several new authorizations of people from other riding disciplines and I've not see any of them treated the way you were years ago.
