Now here's a question for you. I was at the viking market in York (Jorvik festival) this morning doing a bit of trading and I came across some leather armour. The armour was made from small sections of leather laced together so the user would be pretty mobile when wearing it. The leather pieces were rock hard and the guy said it was honey hardened. I asked if he meant beeswax, and he said "No, it's hardened with honey." Anyone heard of this? Anyone know the technique?
