Leather Scale Bracer Done

Here's the finished bracer. It worked out realy well. I'm going to make another one incorporating a couple things I learned making this.

For one, putting the grommets in once it was all formed up was a huge pain. For this one, the order of what I did was: cut, dye, clean, dye again, wet-form, put grommets in, let finish dry, seal. The next one will be: cut, clean, grommet, wet-form, dye, let dry, seal. Should go faster with less headaches and with a more consistent result.

Once the next one is done I'm going to grab a friend to model it for me and then post it up on Etsy for ordering. Currently I'm thinking of putting the price at $100 for a pair.

Made of 7-9 oz vegetable-tanned leather. Dyed green and finished with a matte clear coat. The leather is hard and stiff, but flexible enough to put on reasonably.
