Gator Gear *****My dad has been busy again*****
« on: February 05, 2010, 11:50:00 PM »
Well my dad has been busy build stuff out of my gator. Thought I would share more of his work.

 

This one is made from the tail of the gator.

 

The belly section was used to build this one. Picture just cannot do this one justice!

 

Gator sheath with Tippit knife

 

Belt my dad built me with sheath

 

He is not happy with the armguards...these were just practice. I think this one and the one below will be offered up as give-a-ways here in the near future.

 

His second attempt. He is still trying to decide on a pattern he likes for armguards.

I can attest to Larry's skill with leather... I just received a very handsome belt and Trag Gang buckel from him ... I'll take a pic and try to post my second successful picture in the same week ....

Chris,

Larry is getting way to much practice at this craft!

Whats the probability of those quivers making it on to the St. Jude auction This year? (I'll start increasing my bid money savings today!!!).

That quiver is super cool!  :cool:
