This fellow up in Montana is producing some nice medieval bows and excellent arrows!

I've not bought from him yet but I've seen his wares and everyone that I talked to really likes his stuff.

Hey Kaz, just as a suggestion, I put a strip of 10-16 oz leather (depending on what I have on hand) on the edge of the plywood before I sew down the rawhide. It acts as a bumper between the rawhide and the wood. I also saddle stitch the rawhide on. I've been building them that way for years and it h...

I picked up a simple, hardened leather, shoulder cop from Torvaldr several years back and I've been very happy with it. http://torvaldr.info/index.htm Works great under a tunic, is light-weight and definitely offers more protection than going without. White Mountain also something similar in stainle...

Here's a link to the maker of mine:

Even though they don't show up on this website, they still make them.

Magnus (and everyone else), Got home today and the arms were waiting for me. Where the heck did you get that box?!? :D BouchÃ©es de craquelins?!? :P The arms are great! Awesome quality and workmanship and the fit is spot on. A little felt padding and they'll be good to go...just in time for me to go...

Kían

Put me down for a pair!

How would you like your money?

Aaron,

I'm interested in the Vinland... Let me get to a reliable internet connection to-morrow and I'll let you know for certain and arrange for payment if I can swing it (the finances that is).

Thanks,
Kian

Well then, in that case, if the documentation merely mentions "stab stitching", then add your flair and do what you want. God knows there are enough examples of personal flourish in medieval handwares to justify your using a particular type of stab stitching that you favour! When questioned by any j...

Kían

Ah, sorry 'bout that. Other than the stab stitching that Else Ã˜stergÃ¥rd mentions that "can be seen at pocket slits and along necklines", I guess I'm still a little confused about what you're looking for. That's what I get for being linguistics and research Laurel! :? I suppose one could always con...

It's not my area but I since my wife is also constructing a Herjolfsnes gown, here's a site or two she used to get some bibliographic info from. http://rosaliegilbert.com/glossary.html (relative to the "fitchets" or pocket slits) Dame Helen's site and info: http://www.damehelen.com/sewing/index.html...

Welcome to the Dark Side!

We have cookies!

I know someone who might be interested. I'll pass this along and tell him to watch for the pictures.

Kían

Well, heck, guess I'll add a couple:

Are you guys going to let me steel this at so little a price?

No...I'm just biding my time until the inevitable counter-bid.

$140

Kían

I'll go $125.

Vitus,

How 'bout some dimensions?!

I'm interested.

Sounds good.

Send me a PM if the other buyers fall through!

Kían

I might be interested in this helm. Can you confirm the inside dimensions and let me know what shipping would be to 59802? Also, how do you prefer payment?

Thanks

Kían

Cool beans! We'll keep our ears open and our eyes peeled!

Thanks for the update about your health too! That's the more important news!

Kían

...ANXIOUSLY awaiting the availability of the SS bascinets.

Kían

Sorry, my bad... The blue gambeson that Lyneya sent was every bit as good as raved over by others on this thread. The construction is top-notch and the garment quite comfortable right out of the box. Although the original had cloth-covered buttons, Lyneya has used flat metal buttons that "shouldn't"...

Kían

Well heck...

If no one else is going to jump on this deal, than I sure as heck will!

Kían

Guess I'm in for $180.

Kían

I'm in for $35.00

Kían

Similarly, I'll be posting a review as soon as I get my pair rigged up.

I just need someone to add about 12 extra hours to the day in order to finish my projects!

Kían

If you and Tarquin can make a suitable trade, go for it!

However, if you can't, I'm still interested for the price you listed.

Kían

I'm interested....

...but... what kind of payment method will you/are you willing to accept? And, how about shipping?

Curiousity piqued.

Thanks Torvaldr...they arrived in good order and look, as always, great. Don't know when I'm going to put together my next kit and use them, but at least I have them on hand!

Hope you're on the mend and have a quick and full recovery.
