Title: Kudos & a shout out need to go out to a member..
Post by: MikeW on December 30, 2011, 06:48:00 PM

and that member is Scott Teaschner @    Wyoming Wildlife Artistry (http://wyomingwildlifeartistry.com/)

Scott saw a post where I made some off the wall comment about how much I've admired his work for a long time now but couldn't afford it.

Out of the blue I get a PM from him offering a free arm guard, am not a charity case and have a hard time excepting gifts so at first I wasn't sure how to react but after we bounced a few PM's back in forth we agreed on something that would make me feel better about taking it.


When am working I can afford to buy what I want but when am not am beyond broke and I've been unemployed for some 4 months now but am going back to work this week so all is good again.

So long story short I agreed to buy one of his hidden knife arm guards when I can afford it and in the mean time I'll use this one he sent me and when I can buy my own am going to donated this one to the Saint Jude Auction plus a 1/2 dozen footed and self nocked arrows in his name.

When this all took place I was expecting some plain Jane leather arm guard...not this!

When I opened the box today I was floored!

Thank you Scott, it is greatly appreciated and you do some of the finest leather work I've ever seen.
