I had contacted a few local wood carvers but no one would dare to try, my mistake, there was one, but the shield would be carved out of burl wood? and according to him/carver it would weight at least 15 lbs. or more. I remembered a post from a forum member in P.I. regarding a custom made Barong sword, and I tought that if this guy can custom make a Barong, he may know someone or he may know also how to carve a taming shield It was worth a try. . . . .here's the finished work after 3 weeks.

Each instructions and details from the photos given was precisely copied, and not just that, each daily work on the shield was photo captured and transmitted to me via email every other day.

Two custom ordered Moro taming 30" (painted) and (26") natural.

Thanks "Morovinta" for a job well done
