Title: A couple of arm guards for the UBM Rendezvous
Post by: Darren Haverstick on June 22, 2021, 07:39:59 AM

I finished these two arm guards last night and will be donating them to the can raffles at the United Bowhunters of Missouri Rendezvous this coming weekend. Hopefully, they will make the club a penny or two. The gray one is caiman hide with a stingray arrowhead. The copper one is ostrich leg skin with an ostrich leg skin arrowhead. Both have a cowhide backing, deer hide trim, and lace hooks that I carved out of deer antler. Everything was sewn up by hand using artificial sinew.
