Something that would be interesting is to examine in the surviving wooden rims -those few that exist- for traces of burning or something similar. Turning the bronze inwards would require quite a bit of annealing while the wooden core was already in,no? That should leave traces,no? I can't think of another way to do it,and even this looks impossible to me. The modern reconstructions with bronze covers or rims have as a rule a very small part that is being turned in,and even that is not so smoothe as the ancient ones. In the Vatican shield it is about 4 cm!
