black gauntlet

A simple basic gauntlet......something I've been wanting to do for a while. The leather is roughly 8oz and was water hardened around my hand and arm for a nice close fit. Definitely learned a few things doing this....not entirely happy with how the wrist joints work and I really need to be more thorough when using dye. The small posts sticking out at the wrist joints are just rivets put in backwards as place holders. I originally was going to redo the bracer portion but I think now I'm just going to go ahead and rivet the rest of it together. And get some real lacing to replace the shoelace
