<p>61.135.134.67: </p> <hr /> <div>varalvido<br /> Contrary to popular belief in the SCA, &quot;rattan&quot; is not a grass species closely related to bamboo, but is instead a species of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rattan palm]. It's lighter than [[wood]] and is longer lasting. Rattan deforms and turns to mush rather than splitting and shattering. There are several different methods for shaping rattan.<br /> <br /> This is the material of choice for most [[SCA]] [[weapons]] (although some others are used).<br /> [[category:materials (modern)]]</div>

<p>61.135.134.67: </p> <hr /> <div>trnoget<br /> The '''Red Book of Hergest''' ([[Oxford]], Jesus [[College]], MS CXI = MS Welsh 1) or the ''Llyfr Coch Hergest'', is one of the best known extant medieval [[Welsh]] [[manuscript]]s. Dating from somewhere around 1400 CE, the text comprises one of the sources for the [[Mabinogion]]. <br /> <br /> The book also provided the fundamental inspiration for the Red Book of the Halflings in ''Lord of the Rings''.<br /> <br /> [[Category:books]]</div>

<p>61.135.134.67: </p> <hr /> <div>raccnaricd<br /> '''Woad'' is an annual Old World [[plant]] (Isatis tinctoria) in the mustard family, formerly cultivated for its leaves that yield a [[blue dye]], one of the most valuable [[dyestuff]]s (or a good [[green dye]] when combined with a [[yellow dye]]). <br /> <br /> Said to have mild hallucinogenic properties, and usually mixed with other psychoactive substances when used as body [[paint]] (such as when going into [[war]]). Is absorbed through the skin.<br /> <br /> Incidentally, it is also what the kid from H.R. Puff-n-stuff says instead of '''road'''.<br /> <br /> [[category:dyes]][[category:plants]]</div>
