Finished up this arm guard last night. It will be a can raffle item at the upcoming United Bowhunters of Missouri Rendezvous. I was going for a tarnished metal look. The back of the arm guard is vegetable-tanned cowhide. The facing is ostrich leg skin that I painted copper and then buffed with a teal glaze to make it look oxidized. The trim is New Zealand red deer that has kind of a tarnished bronzed color. I carved the lace hooks out of deer antler and sewed the whole thing up by hand using artificial sinew. Hopefully, it will make the club a little money.

Darren, as top notch as your work is, I'm kinda afraid I couldn't afford it.
Have you ever made any hip quivers for target/roving/3d shooting?

Jason, I've never made a hip quiver like most folks use for 3D shoots but I could. You can follow this link to see some of the quivers I have made.

For doing custom work, I'm pretty cheap, at least that's what people tell me.
