Mike W.:
Quick question: I bought this wooden plate for a $1 at a yard sale. Could it be used as a trencher?

Sir Patrick:

I know that sounds like a simple question, but do you mean does it look like a proper medieval trencher or can you use it at DoK?

The answers to those questions are not really, and yes.  DoK's standards would definitely allow the use of that plate as a trencher.  Would it meet the requirements of a strict LH group, probably not.  I use something similar with plans to eventually upgrade, but good medieval trenchers are hard to find.

Mike W.:
Well that answers my question quite nicely. Thanks

Sir William:
For your time frame, a thick piece of bread would often as not be the trencher.
