A couple of arm guards I just finished

#1 Post by dhaverstick »

I finished these arm guards yesterday for a couple of friends. Now I get to make something for myself!

Both have a backing of vegetable tanned cowhide. The one on the left has a facing made from elephant ear leather and deer hide trim. The one on the right has a shark skin facing with elk hide trim. Both arrowheads are made from ostrich leg skin. I carved the lace hooks out of deer antler and sewed everything up by hand using B-50 bowstring material and artificial sinew. I sewed in a little extra mojo into each of them to bring these guys success this fall. No charge for the mojo option!

Those are nice. No telling what you could charge for that mojo. That stuff is hard to come by around here
