Did you use rawhide for the edging? Other than the Boss ours are very similar. Except I made mine using blank boards to give it the historical value. Great work though.

sweet dude , I had problems in the past that i've only managed to bypass with luck when making shields, you can check out my profile if you like but , how do you get the wood not to bend towards the painted side ?
