Personalised leather arm guards with knife! Who makes them

Where to source materials etc. Also the place to show off your new bow or quiver etc.... Making things belongs in Traditional Crafts.

Personalised leather arm guards with knife! Who makes them

#1 Post by Mattkaye » Wed Sep 16, 2015 11:11 am

Hi, recently I saw A fellow archer with a personalised leather arm guard with a knife and sheath built in. My question is, who makes them here in Aus and how much are they.

Any pictures of them would be great. I'd upload an example but have no idea how to ( I'm a little but useless with technology and computers! )

I'd love a dark brown one with a white rose emblem on it with a knife sheathed in the Arm guard!

I gave up working Saturdays because of my Back and am missing the money already. I will make the ODD Armguard / Knife Sheath for Sale.

I would much rather Teach People how to make there own Gear. There's a lot of Pride in Shooting Gear you've made yourself. And Teaching will cost you nothing but the price of Materials and a bit of our time. From my perspective the real Tradition is passing along the Skills and Knowledge not just Shooting Traditional Archery Gear.

Couldn't think of anything better than shooting your own gear. But sadly I don't have to time with work to make most things. Although I would like to make my own back quiver and arrows, I will leave the rest to the people that do it well :Bow :bow-yellow:
