Finished this arm guard for a friend

#1 Post by dhaverstick »

I finished this arm guard today for a friend of mine. It has a cowhide backing and a cape buffalo facing. The hoof print and trim are deer hide. I carved the lace hooks out of deer antler and sewed everything up by hand using artificial sinew. Now I have to make one for his daughter.

I bought that tan hide about 4 years ago and have been saving it back for just the right project. I think it worked really well for this one.
