So, She - who must be obeyed - says I can have a helm from A&C. Now which one should I go for. I'm thinking probably the Slavonic @ $100, to check it out.
She - who must be obeyed - has a thing for ocular helms, which made the begging easier. :lol:

Yah, steel - in either 16 guage or 14 guage. Honestly, for the price, I'm not gonna nit-pick over a few details :) . Have to get money together now! The Slavonic only in 14 guage steel

Also, what about their 12th Slavonic - that looks as if it could be used earlier (or am I grasping at low-priced straws). Might get me one anyway.

Don't forget that SCA weapons and Murdocks steel Baton are rounded and thicker than the edge of a steel blade (even rebated) , so the force of the blow is concentrated in a smaller area. Obviously one doesn't put ones whole strength and weight into it - that is not sensible sword play, but it's stil...

Try denting a 14 or 16 guage shield boss with your hand!
(It's easier with a weapon! :) )
Full force - as I have fought it would injure or kill without armour.

Ash is best, but pine/fir work well. As others have said - try and use wood still in the round - it's 50% stronger than cut lumber.
