Hello,
I'm quite new here and I am thinking of making my own shield, perhaps a deep blue with a trident on the front. I have gotten a lot of inspiration from reading your discussions on making shields, what is historically accurate, and different construction methods. Would a linen covering on the front and back of the shield be accurate? I had originally wanted a bronze or brass covering, but it was just too expensive for me right now, because when you are just 16, your income is limited Thanks for giving so much information in your discussions! By the way, those shield designs look really great!
