Did you use a similar process to Alan's? If not, how did it differ?

Alan, have you seen this one before http://www.imperialweapons.com/armour/macnaughton.html
On the link:
The Targe, decorated round leather covered wooden disc, was the shield of the Scots. The design on the targe was specific to his clan, just like the tartan in his kilt.

Does anyone know of a historical basis for such a statement?
