Leather Armguard
« on: February 10, 2013, 11:27:22 am »
Just made this leather armguard last night. Its nothing fancy but fits well and is functional. I might add some embellishments to it over time, maybe squirrel fur around the edges or something, but we'll see. Here's the pics.

Was it ever a pain trying to hold it on my arm at the same time as trying to mark where to remove material. I had to break right down and ask my girlfriend for help. She lent me a hand, but rolled her eyes the whole time :P

Let her hit her arm with a bow string and you will be able to roll your eyes at her!  ;)

Good looking armguard.  So long as it is thick enough you should get many years of use from it.
