I didn't roll the edges of the plating, as this was my first attempt at this sort of thing and didnt know what I was doing. I'm now in the process of welding and filing metal onto the sides to roll onto the back for the rivets. Also wish I had of though of pegging the boards together! I planished out what I could, then filed the marks off from the top.

I think this is the right spot for this Anywho, I've been working on creating the Hylian shield from Legend of Zelda The main plate and outer crest is 16 gauge, plasma cut and cold formed to the curve the wood is 1x8 red oak, which i used a spoke shave on to help make them fit Cresting on the front is brass, copper, and repoussed steel, brazed on through holes drilled in the back. all taped off and painted, working on the sides now Thought, tips or advice?

I really like the texturing on the petals. How did you do that?
