If you ever get rivet-adventurous, look these guys up:

They have unplated steel, brass, and every copper length and head style known. Small quantity friendly service too.



Quiver in the works, I assume?

Nice!! Thanks! Yes, the quiver is in fact in the works. I finished cutting a knotwork border on it last night. I'll be tooling it today. He wants a dragon on it, too, so I'll be prepping the dragon design for transfer. I hope to have it done mid week.

The leather for the belt is 6 oz, the hawk sheath is 3 oz, and the hawk frog is 12 oz armor/saddle weight leather. It's from scrap left over from the bracers that I recently made. Those are posted in another thread if you're interested.

As to the shoulder pad... I don't have one for my basket hilt baldric and wish that I did. There's a special reason that I don't, though. It was made by a good friend of mine, and he passed away before finishing it. I can't match the color that he used and it would stand out.
