Arm Guard - A couple more on the go

(1/6) > >>

Cameroo:
So I had some time to kill this afternoon and had the urge to "create", so I thought I'd try my hand at doing some leatherwork.  I bought a bunch of carving/stamping tools from Tandy a while ago and had not used them yet, so I figured I'd have a go at trying to do some tooling on a new arm guard.  At first I was making it for my dad to go along with the bow that I gave him for Christmas, but I think it turned out so nice, he'll have to use my old one  >:D

I didn't think to start taking pictures until after the tooling was done, but there are a few pictures showing what I used and the progression as I stained the leather.  I still have to put a sealer on it and then install the boot hooks and elastic cord, so I'll add another pic once it's totally done.  I think it turned out pretty good for going into it blind, not having tooled or stained leather before.

NTD:
Nice work Cam.

Cameroo:
You can see how much the leather stretched from the tooling compared to the pattern on the second pic here

Oh man that is awesome.... :o Very nice.  :) I like it a lot.

adb:
Holy cow, Cam... that turned out stunning! Wanna make me one??! I think, however, you'd better make some progress on that basement reno, before Kelli rips you a new one!! :D :D ;)
