10th century Magyar-style tarsoly

And finally the last piece finished! 

10th century Magyar-style tarsoly. Dyed full grain vegetable tanned leather with simple incised pattern and a center locking mount. The lid is covered with silk and bronze mounts and the inside of the bag is lined with 80 year old handwoven linen. The edges are covered with natural coloured, hand tanned seal leather.

I hope you like it!

Viking belt with handmade mounts

I spent the better part of twelve hours yesterday finishing this belt! 

49 hand made plate mounts all in brass with copper washers and brass rivets. The belt is red dyed full grain, veg tanned leather. 

This is the last piece in a kit with tarsoly, knife and belt. I will update you with some pictures when it´s all finished! I think it will look amazing together!
