Paul,
You are interested in Martial Arts stuff too. Think about it ,alot of Japanese ( and I would guess other Oriental Armour ) is Rawhide ! All these Hanging and Silk Roped Systems alot are not Iron , but RAWHIDE. Many are Lacquered , and such to protect and Decorate . I restored the set I was working on with Enamel , It took just fine And all those almost indestructible Dog Bones ! Rawhide .. really tough stuff , BUT it needs protection from Moisture ,.. Weather !!
Yes I have been gathering supplies this week ,, next week I will put to the test when I have time .. I hope my theory will pan out as I see in my thoughts ! And what small pieces I have . :roll:
