Commissions and One off work

When you say you're a leather worker, people don't hesitate to ask about getting their ideas made. Sometimes that is great, and other times it can be a real challenge. This piece though, was a pleasure, a close friend and colleague asked me about making him an arm guard for archery. The only design parameter he gave me was to keep to the simple olympic style of guard, Everything else was up to me. Soooo I decided of course it needed initials, basket stamping, border work, and of course the initials needed to float above the basket work!
