Well, in my limited knowledge, Lignum Vitae (ironwood) is the hardest, Pine is about the softest. I have a maple maul I use for carving, it is about 50+ years old, doesn't show hardly any signs of abuse.

Matt with yor skills developing as they are, a full raised helm would not be out of t he question, skill wise. Time wise, and difficulty wise, well those are too imponderables that only you can answer. But, with that siad, you have the skill to do such a feat!

Sir Tascius, I see what you mean. The double leading to triple layers and the widths would definitely hider the ability to rotate beyond vertical. I gather the compression is not that good either.

For the most part as Irish said, shipping kills any good deal on any sheild, unless it is aluminum and the price is low. In my neck of the woods, just about all shields are curved.

I agree with the leg issue. Hidden would be best, with leg covering in the winter is probably pretty correct, there is a reference to a trouser of sort,(name escapes me). Quilted would appear similar to the galdiatorial leg armour so that is at least plausible. I have seen some references made to th...
