Turned Aspis Project in Progress
Lol.. I thought the same thing, that's a bow drill!


An adze is not a finishing tool. It is for removing chunks of wood and is similar to an ax in function. I wouldn't expect to find an aspis with adze tool marks. Craftsmen, shipbuilders, and cavemen (lol) have been using the adze for eons. I wouldn't necessarily call it empty speculation. Let's not put the cart before the horse, and then kill the horse, just yet. I still think it's worth looking into, and certainly isn't something that we should simply dismiss outright because we like a different hypothesis instead. That's not very scientific or rational.

Where are the depictions of an aspis being made with a lathe?

Where are the texts that mention an aspis being made with a lathe? (Aristophanes doesn't count -- not a good reference and still entirely vague and open to speculation)

That's one crazy huge bowl those guys are carving!!! Wow.. I enjoyed seeing that, thank you! Smile
