Or you could try going ahead and putting a metal band around the edge. There are at least some interpretations of the bits and pieces of such shields that have been found that believe they used a metal rim.


Do you think that would bring it all back to the "damages the rattan" issue?

This is totally obnoxious, and I'm not sure how well it would hold up.. but perhaps they make a t-trim that would work?

or constructed in such a way as to minimize the damage to rattan weapons or other fighters. That's the issue I'm dealing with here. I don't think a routered edge of a wooden shield would cause any more damage to rattan that the aluminum bucklers with rolled edges and Vitus' "Hard as a rock" fibergl...

Viking Round Edge Ideas?

(EDIT: Intended use is SCA) I've been wanting to make a somewhat good looking bare-wood viking round lately... and I've been contemplating edge ideas. I don't want to cover it with leather or hose, or anything like that. And, I don't want to cover it all with fiberglass or canvas... I want it simple...

Hugo, you could cover up alot of the fugly inherant in that helm.

Paint it, and make a torse and mantle for it. That would be a really cheap way to make it look just a bit better.

Review: Mad Matt Shield Boss

I bought a shield boss from Mad Matt.

It is exactly as pictured on the website, solid, and symetrical.

I ordered it shortly before christmass, and it arrived before christmass.

Perfect transaction.

I can think of one way.

By not trying to educate the public at large...
