Okay cut first layer of hide for the yoke, and rubbed in a heavy coat of the wax / oil sealant. The blemishes are just survace discolorations. The yoke is curved in reverse right now, but that will change when things afe sewn together. The cream rawhide will go on top, and I have goat leather for an inner liner on the yoke, and I think I'll just fold it over for the edging, and paint that part. Will draw gorgon and design for tooled hide strip --will work on tomorrow, with pics.

Here is the thick breastplate layer; about 2.75 mm thick, I can barely cut it with my metal sheats. It is sealed with the oil beeswax mixture mixed with the with the white casein, and will have the cream rawhide on top, and inner thin goat liner like the yoke. It is slightly convex, as it should be. I'm pretty strong, but I can barely flex it.
