My Scutum Press and Scutum Blank Construction

[Hibernicus]

Try searching for Vellum and Drum skins

I used to be able to get very large vellum sheets at a local art and drafting supplier...

Often much more expensive than a raw hide large enough for a scutum.

We pay about $55USD for 1/2 a raw cow hide, but this is thicker and coarser than a vellum sheet or a drum skin. Also started experimenting with sanding the inside to thin them down a bit. Phew! What a mess that makes!!
