Just in case some of you missed this in another thread. I wanted to make sure this got out to as many as possible. He does great work. Original post can be found here with pics:

Got them!!! And no one should ever buy any leather works from him....accept me....
OK, on the serious side. The workmanship is just unreal. I have been doing leather work since I started in the sca some 20 years ago, and the detail that is in these is just fantastic. The tooling is very clean, there is almost no excess tooling marks or over penetration of the leather.
I was very pleased with how quick I got them. We finalized the deal Saturday morning and I sent him $$ via paypal. He got them in the mail that day and I had them Monday. Very painless.
I think these are a steal at $275 with the amount of time it takes to do this type of leather work and tooling.
Bottom line is Arthen Rocks!!!
Two thumbs up and on a scale of 1-10 he rates an 11.
Thanks again Arthen!
