dhaverstick Report post Posted September 3, 2021 I hardly ever make a leather doodad for my own use but I thought my arrows for this season needed a matching arm guard so I cobbled this together over the past few days. I may not be a good shot or a stealthy woodsman but at least I'll be color coordinated! This arm guard has a Nile crocodile facing over a vegetable tanned cowhide backing. The arrowhead is made from tilapia hide and the trim is deer hide. I carved the lace hooks from deer antler and sewed everything up by hand using artificial sinew.

battlemunky Report post Posted September 4, 2021 What a beautiful piece of multi-species self gifting. I've never tried archery but those armguards you make look as comfortable as some house slippers, man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
