Templar/Crusader Kite shield.
Sir Wolf:
i made my kite shields with a square strapping. 2 straps horz, 2 straps vert. making a square. that way i could carry it 2 different ways. i will try to remember tonight to take a picture of it. i have a book that shows all the different ways in the Bayeux tapestry the way the kites were strapped. looks great man good job, i saw your other shields on fb too!
Sir Edward:
Looks great! Man, you're going to be an expert shield maker in no time!
Sir William:
That looks to be just about the right size, actually...the kite shields were meant to be large like that- as mail was the primary means of defense- such a shield would cover you from shoulder to shynbald, as it were.

Indeed! Well done Sir Nathan!
SirNathanQ:
Thanks guys! :)
Ha, I'd hardly call myself an expert. Though if anyone would be intrested in making their own, I do have my press and the canvas, so I could help others if they made the trip up here.
And as far as the size, it's not unwieldy. I say it's good.
