Here's a photobucket with a variety of items recently made and sold. There's a ton of options, from dye color, to thickness of leather, to metal plate add-ons, mounts, conchos, and metal type (silver/chrome color, pewter, brass and bronze), stitched add-on layers, bordering. I specialize in warbelts with elaborate add-ons and although I can work with any theme, I do especially good viking/celtic work.

Items are not limited to but certainly include Cuirass (back and breastplates and shoulder strapping, can be plate but I mostly work in leather with metal add-ons), armguards, greaves, Helms, ring belts and Warbelts, sword frogs, cuffs, pouches.

My Aim is mc1csmo if you want to chat about ideas, options and prices.

Hi MC, I'm Anakin, and I'm the one who maintains the Isles MonsterCamp boffers. I like your frogs, and I was wondering if you knew the Sheepskin Trick: if you line a boffer frog with sheepskin, the weapon will draw much faster, stay in the frog better, and most importantly, not rattle when you walk or run, revealing your location. I really did get the idea from storing boffers in fleece lined wrist cuffs.

Thank you for not having those awful weapon-ring frogs--those things will kill a boffer almost as fast as leaving it in your car!

Thank you for the compliment. I most certainly do but I often use suede instead. I have a nice amount of brown suede that blends in with those frogs so that works nicely too, but yes, the sheepskin works well too!

Let me know if you are interested in having anything made. Just shoot me an email at mc1csmo @ aol dot com or send me an IM and we can discuss.

Cheers!

MC
