Interesting Ivor. Thanks.
It would probably also be possible to attach weights to a wicker shield, so the choice of wood, although a serious consideration, might not be the only solution to the issue of the double weighted shield. It could be weighted with lead, bits of scrap iron or brass, or even bags of stones fixed in place so as not to swing about and unbalance the shield.
