What do you mean "role/roll" the edges? Do you mean to round them off?
If so, is there an SCA-wide rule which says what the minimum radius
should be?
For a shaved piece of rattan, is there a minimum width that it must
be? ie: 3 inches wide but only a half inch wide wouldn't go into a
grill, but that might deliver too sharp a blow. Ummm. Well, I guess
it would go in sideways. So I guess the minimum in any direction is 1
1/2 inches.
Thanks,
Stefan
