Armguard With Snakeskin Inlay

[Geronimo]

Hello,

I have made this armguard for a friend of mine. It was very interesting for me, because he wants his armguard with an Inlay....made of snakeskin. Later on, he wanted a belt in a similar style, also with these inlays. Okay, I have tried my very best. I hope, you will like it.

with best regards from germany

Hello Danny,

I think you did a great job! I like the rattle hanging down. Nice touch. All pieces look fantastic! Real nice leather work!

Is snake skin an import item or is it readily available in Germany?

Best regards from the other side of the world, Northwest USA,

Very well done, I hope that rattler stays connected, they're pretty flimsy.

Looks GREAT! Good call going with the natural pattern rather than a uniform colour...really goes nicely with the brown. What exactly is an arm guard for??

[WScott]

Excellent work, very professional looking

Hello again,

thank you all for the comments. It is very hard to get snakeskin in gemany, because it is an item you can only buy in other countries. Generally goods for leatherworking are a problem, because this kind of a hobby activity is not very popular here.

The Armguard is for a bowyer- it should protect the lower arm against the bowstring.

with best regards

Danny

Hi Geronimo

Sehr coole Sachsen, die du machst. Bist du reenactor oder wie kommst du zu unserem Hobby?

Ganz liebe Grüße von einem Nordlicht, dass es ins Ruhrgebiet verschlagen hat

Hallo Jonathan,

ich bin begeisterter Bogenschütze und suchte nach schönen Köchern- ohne Erfolg! Also fing ich selber an, mir mein Zubehör aus Leder zu bauen. Daraus wurden dann immer weitere Arbeiten...auch für Western-Reiter, Bogenschützen, Survival Spezialisten etc. Ich habe da einfach einen riesen Spaß und probiere gerne aus! So bin ich auch zu diesem sehr hilfreichen Forum gekommen. So, bevor man uns hier als komplett unhöflich empfindet...back to english- so gut es geht :-))).

Viele Grüße

Danny

LOVE the armguards! I'm an avid archer as well. I hunt rattlers for their meat, skin, and rattles. You've given me some good ideas. Since you mentioned you're looking for nice quivers you might want to check out Seven Meadows Archery if you haven't.
