my second armguard, improved model :)
« on: December 15, 2009, 09:25:00 PM »
this is my second armguard. basically the same as the first except i made it wider, used more dye to make it a little darker, and wood burnt a sketch i made last night onto it. i pretty pleased with the finished product this time around. i took more pics this time do to the glare the flash caused. hope you all like it.

nice work!  I think I'm going to try one soon.  Made a few string keepers and want to try something more difficult.

thanks for all the nice comments everyone. i don't have any friends that shoot and would need an armguard. i only have one friend and my brother that shoot, they both shoot compounds and don't use armguards. i may make one for my brother if he wants though. now onto making a quiver, just need to decide how i want to make it, i'm sure my first one will suck, but hopefully the 2nd one will be good.
thanks again for the nice comments everyone

I like the skull burned in there.  What weight leather did you use?

Very nice.The only problem I see would be that Id spend too much time gawking at it while on stand and might miss whats going on under the stand.

stumpsniper.....no clue what the weight of the leather was. it's old tanned deer hides i have lying around, they were very thin so i doubled it up so it would have some bulk and strength, you can see i stitched all the way around, used glue between also.
i fairly certain, just about anything i make from my hides will need to be doubled up, otherwise it would be thin and weak, and not keep any type of form.
izzy..... i klike the pic to but it's nothing compared to all the cool things you see out in nature/the woods. my arts beauty compared to the beauty of nature, doubt you'd even bother to look at the armguard.
thanks again for all the nice replys
