 |

I'm making an all-hide Egyptian shield in conjunction with a figure-8 shield. Pics soon. I've had the hide for these projects for over a decade.

Some pics. Three layers of heavy hair-on-cowhide, tightly bound with double-knotted loops. It is totally rigid. In the ultimate visual metaphor for the middle-age guy with no kids and just hobbies, I could be seen bathing a large puce of rawhide in a kiddie pool in my yard..
anyway, it will have a horizontal handle. I?m working on making it from a billet now. The stitches seem in the front will be covered by the bronze boss. I?ll edge it with very thick rawhide and paint or tool and fold it a la Tut. Forgive my typing etc. I do everything from a phone.
I don?t seem to be able to successfully upload pictures here. Maybe files are too big.

Since I?m not going to be changing the file size of pics each time, I may need to migrate.
