A bit of leatherwork

I like to hog hunt. A lot. In fact, I am in the process of relocating to the town of my birth, partially because of a new job, and partially because of the amount of huntable hogs in the area. I like to hunt The Pig.

That being said, when I talked to a man named James, AKA 2madjacks, and he said that making me a custom armguard to reflect my love for The Pig wouldn't be a problem, I got giddy. You see, I like to hunt The Pig.

I see a lot of armguards with deer heads and skulls, mountain goats, bugling elk...all sorts of pretty and popular big game animals. Them critters dont make my blood boil like a hog does. And since I like to hunt The Pig, thats what James delivered for me.  Pig skull on the frontside, and a running boar silhouette on the inside.  

And as a bonus, James also made me a leather binder for a notebook that I keep recipes, arrow formulas, and huntin notes in.

James, you do fine work my friend.  I owe you a trip out to chase some pigs.

and I especially liked trying to make a MAN Journal
For all intensive purposes, lets just call it a "Man Book"!  It houses hand written spine charts, recipes for The Pig, and directions to hunting spots!  

You know...Man stuff.

See ya next week, James, wish ya coulda made the shoot today.

With beautiful work like that you won't have any trouble getting orders if you decide to become a sponsor.  Both the arm guard and the man book are gorgeous!  Nice work  :thumbsup:

Talented. My pick is the running boar & trademark. It's simple clean & effective. All great stuff.
