Interesting thread
i have recently made two cores using the concentric ring method: One quite deep and one with a more solid shoulder and not so deep and although they are not completed I rediscovered something that i did not have to think about when I made my first about 16 years ago.
I made two because I had a whole heap of rings that needed using and it seemed wasteful not to do two at once.
The metal rim on an aspis serves very well to tension and control the shrinking of rawhide on the aspis face,one day i will be able to post how that differentiates with those with linnen faces.(16 years ago I had a precut metal rim and recently I had/ have not yet constructed one)
regards
