    My latest targe

    A friend of mine showed me a book of trinkets and treasures dug up from around the Great Britain. Included was several brooches from the 10th century. It was beautiful an inspirational so I decided to design a targe based on it. I am getting close to finishing the tooling on it. It will have a 2 1/2 inch brass boss and a 7 1/2 brass spike in the center.

    I love the Kells style artwork! That's why I put the Book Of Kells dog on mine! That is going to be beautiful! Mine is nice, but your work is freakin' SPECTACULAR!!

    Wow! You should entertain the idea of being a tattoo artist...

    Incredible tooling indeed.

    Superb craftsmanship! You must keep posting as you work towards the finished targe.
