Sue Benford and Joe Marino on French Reweaving for Repairs that Affected C14 Dating
French Weaving, now only done on small imperfections due to its extensive cost and time, results in both front and back side invisibility. According to Mr. Ehrlich, French Weaving involves a tedious thread-by-thread restoration that is undetectable. Mr. Ehrlich further stated that if the 16th Century owners of the Shroud had enough material resources, weeks of time at their disposal, and expert weavers available to them, then they would have, most definitely, used the French Weave for repairs . . . the House of Savoy, which was the ruling family in parts of France and Italy, owned the Shroud in the 16th century, and possessed all of these assets.
