Arm guard leather carving (Finally finished!!)

I think it's finally time to call it done!  I put a finish coat on it last night and another one this morning, put some snaps and eyelets on for the stretch cord, and that about wraps it up.

Here's the end product.

Sweet!  Very nicely done...

And just think, if you every find yourself in a Moose infested woods I think it could double as a Cow Moose Call, it's shape is fairly close to the rolled birch calls I've seen used.

Thanks guys.  It was a test of patience - I probably could have made a couple bows in the time it took to make it, but I"m pretty happy with how it turned out.  Every time I finish a leatherwork project, I think to myself "that took way too long, I'm not going to do that again for a while..."  and then a few days later I'm planning something bigger and more detailed.  That's ok though, because I learn a little bit more every time.

Now it's time to get started on my trade bow!

Been watching your progress. Turned out real well. I learned the leather craft as a 7th grader. Made a few things and still use what I learned. I understand the patience and skill it takes to turn out nice work. You have achieved them both. ;)

Thanks so much guys.

Timo, I admire your work too.  I never was a huge fan of the tennis-type wrap, but you make it look REAL good :)  And what you do with wood is amazing.

I think I'm gonna give this thing away...

Thank you BeetleBailey.  I'm working on an idea for the next one right now.  I think I'm going to attempt a portrait, probably of a native chief.

Now about not liking the tennis handle wrap...Well, that's just crazy talk...

That's pretty awsome. I like to do a little tooling myself but I ain't never done anything like that.
