    I can shoot you a few of the odd bracers on my end...Haven't quite figured out the pictures thing yet-been dumping my stuff into an album, then copying and pasting the url to the message...That, and they may be less than Scottish in nature, don't want to muddle things. Got a regular email?

    Oh, and I have a ton of black leather-some 15 ounce strappy stuff (meant for pull harness, or stirrup straps), and a half hide of I think 5/6 ounce, Sedgwicks, made for cantle backs, as well as some pebbled pig dyed black, that I am willing to part with, barter wise. The 15 ounce was part of a failed project...another story for another time. Can take pictures of the leather too, if you are interested-seems black is your medium.
    Honestly, I like all kinds of colors! The baldric that I made for my basket hilt is a nice antiqued brown with mahogany accents. I actually am really interested in that pig- it makes for a good gusset. I've got a sporran project for a friend going on right now that I need some pebble grain leather for, and I haven't got any! I'll PM you.

    Here are some examples of NON black items:









    And the quiver I'm working on for my son... which he does want black. I thought walnut antiqued would look better, but he wanted black!
