I've got a order for a fauldstol ( to be delivered at
Blackstone in WV at the end of April )

While I'm making one it's easier to make more...

Anyone else interested?

Baron Conal

thanks!

Holy Stone translated into Latin?

from the relic-ish point of view....

We jokingly can up with Sanctus Petri at Pennsic
but I'm betting that cannot be right....

Thanks in advance!

over simplified to the point of being wrong at times

moderately awful at times not bad at others....

I'm guessing at this point in the designing of the stands
each stand will have to be customized for the armor....

so pricing will vary....

Baron Conal

Nissan has seen the pictures of the armor stands
so I think it's ok to post them...

Painted black and clear coated to simulate a lacquer like
finish.....

I'll admit I haven't gone looking for a while and I'm gonna share the links I have... I'm looking for more l...

30" long and 15" wide...

Since new orders are slow to come in.... how about a 4th painted chest auction? Same deal as before. link: thread from 1st auction ( there are more pictures there too ) Chest has not been made yet, so there is some flexibility on the size and type of chest. The auction runs till March 31 8:00pm EST ...

Any ideas for small items would be welcome...

I'm gonna be digging thru what wood I have on hand
and seeing what small items I can make from it....

And I'm checking for half finished stuff to finish to sell....

If I say 'I'm glad I'm not the only one' will

I actually started avoiding the archive to
keep from depressing myself .... but things
are looking slightly better now.
