This site shows a range of "simplified " targe designs which I now do as an addition to my main range of accurate reproductions of original targes.
The targes shown here are all full size (19" diameter) and are hand-crafted by me at my workshop near Inverness, Scotland.
None of my targes are imported from India, China, or any other far away place. They are Scottish, and I am proud of them.
These designs are all based on the full replica targes which I make, but are simplified by the omission of the leather embossing on the originals.
This of course, saves a great deal of time, and therefore allows me to reduce the price considerably. In some cases I have added a few more nails to give a bit of extra "weight" to the design.
I do not claim that any of my targes are "Clan" designs, as my extensive research in museums and private collections convinces me that there never were "clan" patterns, but each targe was individual to its owner.
