Most propably not. Though there's not many shields that have survived in very good condition to this day, but for example the one in quite good condition in the historical museum in Riga is made of much thinner wood.

Not this one as it's kind of a promotional one, but I can make commissions :)

Hi! This is the best and most historically accurate viking shield that I've ever seen! :D I was wondering how much you would charge to make and sell an unpainted version of this shield for a Canadian buyer (if you do accept commissions, that is)? :tux:

Humhum...never done a shield on commission, but I'd propably charge around 400 euros.
