I finished these two arm guards yesterday. It was just pure coincidence that both customers wanted a dark brown facing with a petroglyph on it. The one with the man dragging a deer has a facing made of hippo hide. The other one is caiman. Both have elk hide trim and I burned the petroglyphs onto a piece of elk hide with a woodburning tool. I carved the lace hooks out of deer antler and sewed everything up by hand with artificial sinew.

Very nice.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
