I made this shield using pine wood which was from roof structure.
The planks are 8 mm thick, so whole shield is 16 mm thick. Shield diameter is 80,5 cm which is historically accurate although the measures varied from 75 - 90 cm.

I used metal thumbtacks to attach the eco leather around the rim.
The leather is sewed by my father :)

The cloth is actually my old bed sheets (linen)

The shield boss is a cheap dog bowl from stainless steel, I used hydrochloric acid to achieve aged look. The bowl was shaped by my neighbour Vittorio who is a metal worker.

And also thanks to my brother Andrea and his wife Barbara for helping with shield :)
