Nice.
How is the handle attached? Iron-work staples?

The handle is attached with handmade nails punctured through then bent down onto the wood. Least favorite part was attaching the rawhide. I am done sewing things for at least two weeks.

By the way "River Pirate" you really missed out when we met up in real life. Next time we link up you are coming no matter what happens. Was literally arranged by the Gods and one of my favorite memories of this life time.

Goddamnit buddy I will! I will swim there if I have to. I shook Einar's hand when I saw him in Australia though so if he never washed it maybe he carried a tiny bit of me to Germany in dirt if not in spirit? We should talk soon I want to hear all about it!

It is always good to see one of us dwellers of the digital realm to commit himself to honest handiwork. May I ask how long it took you all in all to craft this shield? I especially approve of the rawhide rim being sewn on the shield instead of being simply nailed on it. Speaking of the rim, I assume you have attached it edge on edge and forgot that rawhide shrinks when drying, or are the gaps due to some other reason?Ragnar Bell said:Took a long time to build this. Fenrisbarn shield. My dogs Freyja and Tyr's paw prints / runes on the left and Fenrisbarn trademark on the right.
The sewing certainly takes its time but I personally find it much easier, even though a bit more cumbersome, than sewing cloth together since the holes already specify where to plunge the needle.Ragnar Bell said:

I also like the part where he was interrupted by a "SHUT UP NOW".
Dragomir will never be praised enough for making of the enemy leader the first kill.
