Make A Viking Shield From A Wine Barrel

Step 3The Cross Brace

The Cross Brace

  • Barrel Top And Cut Cross Piece.jpg
  • Center of Stave.jpg
  • T Nut & Hanger Bolt.jpg
Cut the widest stave about a half inch shy of the barrel top. Bevel the edges prior to burning and brushing the stave. Finish the stave with shellac or any of the other mentioned top coats I use at least 4 coats.
  My Viking / Barbarian War Hammer Instructable covers burning and brushing wood. 
   Find the center of the stave and drill a hole for the t-nut. The hanger bolt is threaded into the t-nut and the depth is marked with a sharpie.
