YosemiteBen:
pic?

BowEd:
If you want that light colored look...I've used beef rawhide 1/8th" thick slotted with short knapped sheepskin contact cemented on the inside of bracer.If your getting smacked once in a while from the string the padding from the sheepskin deadens it completely.The slots lets your arm breath underneath the bracer too.

Cloudfeather:
I don't even use the bracer anymore. It's not that I want a light look. It's that the darkness from the oil makes the engraving very hard to see, that's my only issue with it.

Cloudfeather:
Here's the before and after oil and seal

danny f:
