While some folks are content making the same thing again and again,  Natalie and I like to stretch the boundaries of what we can do.

And I’ll tell you, this stretched ALL of them. 3.5 full sides, hand stitched except the scales, embossed lion and bronze fittings and three months of our lives.

Made to a historical pattern with the help of a local experimental archeologist, this piece will be used for re-enactments and historical displays, among other things.

I hope you enjoy it.  It’s time for a drink or three and to let my fingers heal!

Naw man, awesome work!

Do you take it apart for storage or do you use an armor stand?
