wtpops:  Looks mighty good to me.  Nice work on your first.  Can;t imagine what they'll look like after you get more under your belt.

Not to hijack, but I have always wondered if your actually carved the leather or do something else to acheive your design?  PM'ing would be fine for an answering

Tandy has the Marine Corp. stamp.....

Mine goes with a matching quiver.
Welsh Dragon Scales and Asham Arrows and on bottom of the quiver is a Celtic Knot.
Is that OK gor a guy to say he has a matching quiver and arm guard?   :confused:

none of them are for sale, there are present for friends when I go on a hunting trip. It's like a tradition for me to bring a little present on every hunt I do oversea. There all have been made by my father who used to be a western saddle maker.

You can bet the stamp from the leather factory.
www.leatherfactory.com  

And if anyone who is a Marine orders something from me and wants it to be stamped with the EGA just tell me ya want it....

[John Nail]

Really like the Little Delta Map. Kinda like the old powder horns.

[Paul Mattson]

I picked this one up a couple of years ago from Mike Mitten.

[huntsmanlance]

I made the one that Rob has, and Jeff you got your first trad kill with that one....thats great!

About the stretch cord you can buy it at any of the big fabric stores for like $2.00 a yard.

I had to stop making stuff when we had our twin girls, man ole man twins are hard to keep up with!

Theres a lot of Talent here on the Gang.
Here's one of mine, pretty plain compared to all of the above....

Kingstaken,

It is ok to say you have a matching quiver and armguard if they look that dang good.  N-I-C-E!
