These appear to be a very nice set ...
But they really don't do it for me they don't have the character I prefer
To be honest this kind of runic gives me the willies

me too unfortunately the embroidery of the tab that started this thread differs from original examples with rock-solid provenance that I have on file.

Now just imagine this tab remounted on an original buckram taken for example from cheap LW tabs .. Or even worse they made it just a bit more accurate and from a period or just modern but uv-negative thread and we have an exact clone to an original tab

flawed embroidery is not a problem. We know that they more often then not have that feature. I was more concerned with the way the borders of runes are stitched/embroidered. Because on original examples that I have on file borders embroidered in opposite direction than the tab that started this thread: ///// vs \\\\\\ but now after spending some time today studding other original examples I think this direction varied on original tabs and the one that started this thread is indeed original .
