I believe you can. Many things have been tried, although some, such
as the metal straps, have some disadvantages. A lot of different
possibilities are detailed in this file. As the folks in the SCA have
gotten older/more prosperous and/or the market for them has
developed, you can now get specialized boning made for this use as well.

Every time this subject comes up though, I see new creative solutions
or learn something new.
