Description Here's a pair of images of my newest bracers: the Dragonhide Bracers! I'm very happy with how these turned out! I think the natural finished, oiled leather accents really made the piece stand out.

These bracers won me 6th place in the Deviant Marketplace contest!

They are for sale at [link] . The cost is $45 plus shipping.


EDIT: SOLD!!!

What kinds of leather did you use for the "dragonhide"? It looks reptilian in any case.
They look good, but mayhap with a rougher type of leather, like alligator (big rough scales) it would have realle screamed dragonhide.

I like them in any case.

The 'dragon hide' is goathide (I believe) embossed with an alligator print pattern. Real alligator hide costs too much!

I don't think it's so much the ease of getting 'gators, but the length of time it takes to skin and tan the hides. They ARE a little on the tough side, you know!

Airgid In reply to RuehlLeatherWorks [2008-03-17 06:31:02 +0000 UTC]

But it is worth it, just like sharkskin it is a very durable hide. It is a shame the resource gets wasted since they cull so many of them.

Oh, trust me, I know that the hide is worth the cost, but the cost is significantly more than my income at this point.
