Stingray also breaks the tip off your leather awl if you try to sew it. Guess how I know that

I found a nice piece of Stingray leather at my local Tandy store. Looks like just the right size and shape for a custom arm guard. How do you suggest using it? Can it be punched for laces? Stitched to a backing leather? Or is glue the best option?
(It's still at the store, until I know what to do with the stuff)

The stuff I've seen at Tandy is very soft and thin and in my opinion it would need to be backed for an armguard. I suppose it
could
be punched and sewn but those pebbles being hard bone it's going to be hard on your punches (as Bladepeek alluded to) and I think it would be best as an inlay. The underside is smooth skin and takes glue nicely. That Tandy stuff is also pretty pricy compared to what's available online.
