I kept forgetting to ask you by the way; I see some people use suede in the back of the bracer, but others don't.
I asked a person who used suede and he said it's because his arm gets sweaty and he didn't want to ruin the back of the leather. He said if I'm not too sweaty maybe I can just leave the back of the bracer as it is, and it'll get smooth on its own after a while.
For this bracer, did you do anything special to the leather? It looks smooth so it looks like you used gum tragacanth or something to me. Did you use glass burnisher to apply the gum, if you used gum? What is your opinion on using suede? Sorry for the lots of questions. xD; This is my first bracer and I wanna know how others made theirs~
