I make both laminated ply ‘reenactment’ shields for battle field use and accurately constructed plank built shields.
Where appropriate they are covered in leather or linen canvas and can be gesso covered over this. Metal or rawhide edging is used where appropriate and they all come fully harnessed.
Any bosses used are hand raised and any riveting/nailing is done with rose head nails.
I hope to be expanding these pages over the next year or so.
