how did ancient greeks make aspis?
#1
In Osprey, it says 'The core of the shield was made of wooden planks about 20~30cm wide, glued together into a block. This block was carefully turned on a lathe until its shape resembled a bowl'

But I can't understand what does this means.
Does it means a ring method?

Plus, does the quality of Aspis that made by dishing out whole aspis from an massive piece of wood is better than Aspis that made by ring method?
