Medieval Battle Helmet

[Richard Vonk]

This helmet is made from Maple Burl and Feathers. It's 20" tall on the stand. The helmet is 6" in diameter and 14" tall without the stand. The finish is poly. Thanks for looking and for your comments.

WHOA!!! That is a real work of art and imagination! Richard, are you sure you don't want this to be a part of an entry in the SMC Art challenge??

Really well done!

[Richard Vonk]

This could be both utilitarian and artistic. "In case of war, put on head".

Thank you,

Dick

Very nice Dick, but it's closer to a Greek Hoplite (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hoplite_helmet.svg) (circa 500BC) helm then a medieval one

Dave Schweitzer has done a Great Helm (http://www.d-waytools.com/images/gallery/hlm-1lg.jpg) that is done in figured Big Leaf Maple
