Hi, I'm brand new here and have been looking through this site for a couple of weeks now. I haven't decided if I'm going to put together a full panoply yet, but I am hoping to build a shield either way. I have been reading all sorts of competing ideas on this, and from what I can tell the community is very divided on a wide range of topics. I have a lot of questions on this, but I'll stick to the shield.
My apologies for necro thread by the way!
So how are you sure Giannis that these were steam shaped? I would agree with you wholeheartedly after looking around at this that that makes the most sense in terms of other woodworking technologies of the time. Have you tried making a shield this way? And how thick roughly would the plates be?
Also, if you guys happen to know of any owl designs on shield, that would be fantastic. I have only encountered one so far.
Thanks in advance!
