YORNOC, I love that strap on your back quiver.

Great work from everyone else too!  I started my first leather project (other than knife sheaths and string keepers) and will post some pics after I finish.  Working on a side quiver and arm guard right now.

Post by: addi on March 28, 2011, 11:32:00 AM
Hello everyone, here's an arm guard and a quiver that I've done recently.They are both my own concepts(pouch as well) and the quiver is both a side and a back one, I just need to find the time for the straps which make it an actual back quiver :)The glove is bought but I dyied it black and painted the scales on it.And finally, the bow is a Bear Patriot Longbow.
Hope you like what you see.

Adrian

Very cool artwork and tooling Addi. It is hard to see the details of the leather work but if the artwork is any example I imagine it is quite good also!

Thanks a lot Pat B and Cameroo.
@Cameroo, don't know exactly but I suppose it took me about 15h for the arm guard and maybe 20 for the quiver.

Now THAT'S an arm guard!

Post by: Izzy on March 28, 2011, 04:31:00 PM
Addi, youve got some major skills. Did you have a special punch to do the scales?
Title: Re: Show off your Leatherwork!
Post by: addi on March 28, 2011, 04:35:00 PM
Glad you like it.
@Izzy, no, they are all done individually, with the swivel knife and the basic punches.

Tim, that quiver you posted on the top of page 2 is one of the nicest quivers I've seen yet, well done!  The arm guard is a beaut too, both look really good with osage   :)  

I checked out your website (and bookmarked it), and you certainly do some fine leatherwork, and have a great eye for design.

Post by: RM81 on May 07, 2011, 01:29:00 AM
This hip quiver is my first big leather project.  I saw Rob's plans for the hip quiver and just modified it a little.  I'm happy with the way it turned out for my first one.  I made the broadhead knife/sheath and string keeper for the St. Jude's auction.
