Posted: Sat 29 May, 2021 12:20 pm Post subject: Scottish Targe Construction Question |
|
|
I’m planning on making a Scottish Targe, which is a little later than my normal periods of interest. Do we know if the planks were covered with glue and fabric, like many earlier period shields, before the leather is applied?
Also, do we have published thicknesses of surviving targes?
Thanks!
