Look what came in the mail :)
« on: August 18, 2007, 03:32:00 PM »
Hey everyone! Check out what came in the mail yesterday. It's an armguard made by Steve Catts the "Leathersmith" I ordered it back at the wheeling expo in april and all I can say is it's well worth the wait!! I bought a quiver of his and liked it so much I ordered this armguard. It is everything I wanted and more. To say his work is top notch is a huge understatment. I'll have to find out from him who made the knife. The quiver in the pics is also the one he made. Now it's time to go break it in.  :)

Thanks guys. It truly is everything I had envisioned when I ordered it. His contact info is  www.hidehandler.com  

Stick'n'string, I had onestringer custom make the wraps for me. Him and his wife do a fantastic job.  I used Axis 500's and removed the name with 00 steel wool. Then I wrapped them and fletched them.

Outstanding stuff right there! The quality of those items means you'll be able to pass them down to the next generation too.
