Made these arm guards for a raffle

[dhaverstick]

I finished these arm guards yesterday and will be donating them as raffle items at the United Bowhunters of Missouri Rendezvous coming up in a couple of weeks. Both of them have a vegetable tanned cowhide backing and the facing is made from the hide of a large freshwater fish in the Amazon River basin known as a pirarucu. The arrowheads are made from ostrich leg skin and the trim is deer hide. I carved the lace hooks from deer antler and sewed the tan one up by hand using artificial sinew. I sewed the blue/gray one up with artificial sinew and B-50 bowstring material.

Hopefully, they will make a little money for the club.

those are sweet! SLC scrap bags? I have a bunch of that picaricu and I think that's the first thing I've seen that it looks good on.

Thanks! No, I live just north of Springfield so I visit SLC on a regular basis. I bought a couple pieces of pirarucu big enough to make arm guards out of.
