I'll have to see if I've got any left of my handcut fletchings. Wild turkey does look a lot nicer the...

Nice pics.... Good looking recurve........ I like the mossy green cloak
Can't wait for the gear write-up

This is the great thing about being based in the old world...... We might not have days and days of wilderness, but we do have a lot of ruins.

ECHO Historical Textile. I think most of their sales are through Etsy.

Thank you........ Knowing my luck it'll be a couple of quid for the needles and about two score for the postage.

Nice fabric...... Pity its not in the palette that I'm using for Barron

I think the tunic needs to be longer, like long enough to go un-trousered (or "pantsless" if you want it in American ) in summer. But I like the neckline a lot. I would also go with a closer fitting trouser, you want to look tall and graceful..... And big baggy pants over a slim calf say ...

Now, the most difficult for me will be to wear medieval clothes and cross some "normal" people on my road, I'm scared by that because I'm "shy" :mrgreen: Does everybody assume their style or some people are in my case? :?: Vins, Greetings and Well Met. I too have a shyness issue...

Cutler's Pitch Used as a glue, this needs to be heated to apply. Its not as brittle as pure pine pitch and has gap filling properties (for example Indian swords tend to have metal grips and stub tangs, this is used to fix one into the other) This is my version, based on the materials I could get at ...
