A couple of petroglyph arm guards

#1 Post by dhaverstick »

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.
