Finished this arm guard

[dhaverstick]

Finished up this arm guard last night. It will be a can raffle item at the upcoming United Bowhunters of Missouri Rendezvous. I was going for a tarnished metal look. The back of the arm guard is vegetable-tanned cowhide. The facing is ostrich leg skin that I painted copper and then buffed with a teal glaze to make it look oxidized. The trim is New Zealand red deer that has kind of a tarnished bronzed color. I carved the lace hooks out of deer antler and sewed the whole thing up by hand using artificial sinew. Hopefully, it will make the club a little money.
