Doesn't basswood dent like crazy? It's a pretty soft wood.

Shields aren't really meant to be permanent, or at least they weren't
1100 years ago (the time the equipment I'm reproducing is from ). It
actually holds up surprisingly well - the only problem my first one is
having is the steel rim is coming off. I need to use a different
style.
