Finally made something for myself

#1 Post by dhaverstick »

I hardly ever make a leather doodad for my own use but I thought my arrows for this season needed a matching arm guard so I cobbled this together over the past few days. I may not be a good shot or a stealthy woodsman but at least I'll be color coordinated!

This arm guard has a Nile crocodile facing over a vegetable tanned cowhide backing. The arrowhead is made from tilapia hide and the trim is deer hide. I carved the lace hooks from deer antler and sewed everything up by hand using artificial sinew.

Awesome job
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.
