Hey all
I am doing a design project, and would appreciate some help. Has anyone
got any ideas on suitable materials for the following? Also, the names
of materials which are normally used would help

1) Heavy wooden door of a cathedral
2)heavy metal door of a medieval jail
3) Stone used in tomb or cathedral for a) walls
b)
arches and vaults
4)stone used in making sarcophagi
5) wood used in making spear shafts and dart shafts
6)metal used in maing spear and dart heads and dagger blades

Thanks,
Oli

A suitable material, from any era. But, as long as the technology requried
to make it was around in medieval times (no diamond coated Titanium etc)

Yeah, I'll agree there, but does anyone have a picture of such a thing. I
have only a very basic idea of what it looks like, and would really
appreciate a picture

Thanks
Oli
