New Historically Accurate Viking Shield! (Patreon)

Hello my dear Patrons! Here is an AWESOME project you allowed me to create through your support here on Patreon. It's a collaboration between me and the craftsmen at Scutae Borealis (link below) 

They have been making a historically accurate Viking round shield for me and the shield is now complete! This is just a little preview, which is also public on their website, but of course, as soon as I receive the shield (in about a Week) I will make an unboxing and first reaction video for you here! Just to give you some info on the shield. 

Planks: Pine wood 

Grip: Beech wood 

Covering: Raw hide 

Clamps, nails and boss: Mild steel 

Paints: Mix of albumen, woad and lime 

The planks taper towards the edge, just like originals. 

I'll tell you more on the Patreon exclusive unboxing video, and subsequently on a dedicated historical video on the channel. 

Stay tuned! And always thank you for your support. You made this happen. This shield exists because of your continuous support. 

More history has been broght back to life.
