I prefer to stay on the side of history, but will work with the customer if something different is desired. Take a look at my gallery or my blog to see what kind of things I tend to make.
Armour: For armour, I am somewhat limited by my lack of a heat source and polishing equipment. That means I sell munitions-grade armour. I can finish it by simple bouging (removing only the worst lumps), planishing (hammering the whole surface), and after one of those, painting.
Leather: I do not make leather armour, in general. There are plenty of other places that cater to this better than I can. However, if a piece desires leather for safety (for Dagorhir or Belegarth, for instance), I will make a concession. Instead of armour, I prefer to make things like those mentioned above.
Price: Prices are based on cost of materials plus approx. $15/hr. This does not include shipping, or PayPal fees. Generally, I will give an estimate of the final price, judging high. Based on this, I will request a downpayment of about half the final cost, and after completion, charge the remainder based on the actual time spent. I also accept trades (armour, viking/medieval accessories).
As you can see below, I have a queue of three spots. If it is full, I am not taking orders. However, if you wish, you may send me an and I will put you on a list to contact you when I have space.
