AndyL1 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 I made one of these up in the past for a customer in Luxemburg. Thanks to the reach of the internet a fellow in Norway saw that one and decided he needed one too! A Pictish mermaid tooled onto a slab of 6/7 oz veg tan. 5/8" buckle straps to keep it closed. I lined the backside with some nice black pigskin and stitched around the edge. Came out pretty cool if I may say so! Cheers, Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sven WillIBeFamous Report post Posted March 19, 2015 Very nice! I'm just starting to make bracers myself now. I need to get better at sizing them, and I also need to learn how to make and fix the straps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've only made a couple bracers. My normal items are briefcases and wallets so this was a nice departure. I made the slab a bit shorter than the actual circumference to allow room for the straps to adjust. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
