I also needed to make Josh an arm guard and a finger tab to go with the new bow.

I used 5 Oz. tooling leather for the face and 4 Oz. Buffalo for the backer.





I added a little tooling with his initials.



And made some antler buttons.



I used a dark red/brown stain and attached elastic/bungee material to hold in in place,









For the finger tab, I traced the shape of my homemade finger tab for Josh's and cut out 3 of them from some medium thickness scrap leather.



I then stacked the 3 and used brass rivets to hold them together.
