ECHO Historical Textile. I think most of their sales are through Etsy.

Thank you........ Knowing my luck it'll be a couple of quid for the needles and about two score for the postage.

Three beeswax based polishes. The first is a hard finish suitable for wood, the second is for leather (both of these are neutral) and the third is black Hard Polish. Durable finish for wooden items. Not food safe Melt a quantity of beeswax and add an equal volume of turpentine (the real stuff not 'S...

I think the tunic needs to be longer, like long enough to go un-trousered (or "pantsless" if you want it in American ) in summer. But I like the neckline a lot. I would also go with a closer fitting trouser, you want to look tall and graceful..... And big baggy pants over a slim calf say ...

A Challenge for the house. Write the rest of this joke..... "A Ranger, a Warden and and Fellsward walk into a tavern....."

and they get into a fight over who's going to sit with his back to the wall with a view of the door.

Thats funny....... Because its so true

Now, the most difficult for me will be to wear medieval clothes and cross some "normal" people on my road, I'm scared by that because I'm "shy" :mrgreen: Does everybody assume their style or some people are in my case? :?: Vins, Greetings and Well Met. I too have a shyness issue...

That is not a Noble blade for great deeds in battle under the bright Sun, that is a necessary tool for desperate bloody work in the dim of the forest and the empty places between where People live. Nice bit of kit, let us know how she feels and cuts I feel like I should know that quote. I think it’...

Here is a link to the 'Numbers' document on Darrow Scholar..... While he admits its not canon it is consistent with what little background we have. Note the Cirth numbers (which are mostly recycled Cirth letters with a dot underneath), these could add a Khazad flavour to any die and dice game. That...
