my second armguard, improved model :)

[hunterace]

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.

[hunterace]

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?

[Izzy]

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.

[hunterace]

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
