This a arm guard I made.  It is going to be a Christmas gift.  It has antler buttons, and a antler bead on the shock cord that holds it tight.  The leather is from the first animal I took with my longbow.  It is backed with suede pigskin.  Sewed with artificial sinew.  Gonna make myself one shortly.

Looks very slick, Mr. Bailey.  Gator huntin's probably a tad bit exciting, to boot.

Very nice work. We dont have GAtors here, obviously, so I hunt bears. Kind of spices it up when your prey can eat you if your not careful.
