Nice to see your experiment mirroring ours!

A piece of scutum board was found in England.. alder over ash... and we've found it stronger than birch over birch.

No comparison to luan is there!

I remember you saying you were to do some experimenting Sean, but I didn't ever see it- did you post anything?

Have you a reference for this 'English' scutum? I've never heard of anything found in Europe...
See FABRICA ROMANORVM Recreations in the Marketplace for custom helmets, armour, swords and more!
