Are you still up in An Tir? I'm surprised even fiberglassed plywood
stands up the blow strength there. My period-materials laminated
shield does fine here, but I don't know how it would do out there.

Yup, actually there as been some effort to reduce the level of blows.
When Cire came back from a Gulf War, having gotten in trouble for what
they thought was an excessive blow we all had a little laugh. Cire is
not known for real hard hits, just solid firm ones.
BTW, do you know about the Yahoo-Group for period/sca/medieval
wood-working?

No, I didn't know about it. I'm really, really on enough Yahoo
groups, though, and I don't do much period work, just period things
with modern tools.
