  • It can be used as a decorative wall hanger or as a functional piece for medieval reenactment, LARP or Halloween. 
  • Size - 24 inches in diameter (61 cm)
  • Weight - 8 pounds (3.5 kg)
  • Material - 15mm thick birch plywood
  • Because these are handmade products made with natural wood planks the sizes, textures and overall appearance may vary slightly from the photos displayed.

Dimensions

Unless indicated otherwise, our shields have a 24 inches diameter (61 cm) and weights around 6.6 pounds (3 kg)
Because these are handmade products made with real wood blanks the sizes, textures and overall appearance may vary from the product photos and description. Some blanks might be smaller than anticipated, or larger sizes too thick to transport at a low cost. 

Care Instructions

We recommend applying three or four times per year some beeswax polish to protect the wood surface from moisture and sunlight. Apply the oil onto a lint-free cloth and rub into the wooden surface following the direction of the grain. Leave for 3-4 minutes and buff over with a clean cloth.
