Hi again,
Where would you get rawhide that's heavy enough for use in a stick-and-rawhide shield, like the Dura-Europos ones? I've never seen any sides or bends for retail listed at more than 4-6 ounces. It's easier to find heavier tanned leather but I'm told that leather is easier to pierce than rawhide and won't be as protective.

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

Well, I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able
To pick myself up from under this table...
