There were a bunch of delays in getting this finished, so I hope you find it worth the wait Brian!  :D  

Eagle feathers embroidered on a back tag out of goat hide.  It even has a pen holder for filling out your tags  :)

That is cool...Michigan use to be a state that required you to wear your tag on your back.  Those were the days!

I have most of my Grandfathers from as far back as the early 50's until he died in 1990.  I love looking at them.

Wow Jeremy!!! That came out great! Its exactly what I was looking for. It will go great with the amazing quiver you made me. Definitely worth the wait. This is one that my sons will be able to use after I'm gone. Top quality like everything else you make. I am truly honored to wear it. Thanks Jeremy! You are the man!

The embroidery is way over the top Jeremy. Absolutely awesome!

The embroidery was a pain to figure out  :)   I started with the heavy elk leather like your quiver, which embroiders easily, then switched over to the thinner goat.  Tried doing that like I would fabric and just ended up punching out the leather in a feather shape, so I had to come up with a different way of doing it.  It's not perfect, but it looks good.
