The shield boss arrived today from Windrose Armories. Rather than just slap it on the plank shield, I'll customize like I've done with previous hilt work.
I removed the nice, shiny finish it had with a pad of scothbrite, then went over that coarse finish with a fine dremmel buff to give it satin, hammered appearance.
Next step will be oven bluing -- this should be no problem with this mild steel shield boss.
I may try to buff a design onto the boss, then re-blue, or possibly etch something using the carved wax and 9 volt battery process.
Temperature in Celsius.
