Arm armor

I've made progress on the arm armor (e.g., naruchi). The House of the Wolf leather armor page has a really nice tutorial on how he makes his bazubands. The pattern he's using isn't exactly what I'm looking for, but it's a really nice place to start. I also looked up Duke Cariadoc's "The Perfect Armor" article just to review what he has to say. I like the shape of his bazubands better, but not the pattern he's using. I cut out a pattern the other night, but now I'm thinking I need to tweak it a bit. Once I have the pattern I want, it's a small matter of cutting out the leather and actually waxing it. That won't take long. I'll make a right-handed model and wear it to fight practice a couple of times, see how it feels. If all is right, then I'll make the matching left.

Have to check my beeswax supply, too.
