Knife Sheath

[cybertrix]

I have only been a member here a couple of day but I have found a wealth of information and great group of friendly people. I am hoping to learn Sheridan style carving and I have been checking out some examples and some tutorials and I just couldn't wait, I just had to have a try at a piece. I have been making a hunting knife and thought I would try a Sheridan style sheath. It is my first try and I still have quite a way to go. I need to learn when to bevel and not to, where to vein and not to, and camouflage and everything really. This is what I came up with anyway.

This is the pattern I came up with. I used a pattern for a folder front and modified it a little. I was not happy with the top so I altered it on the sheath.

This is the knife I made the sheath for.

Both sides of the sheath.

I know I have a long way to go but this place has been so inspiring already I can't wait to get on with my next piece. I am going to have a practice on some scraps before I start the next one. Thanks to you all. Great site!

Good looking sheath, looks like your a quick learner.

Nice looking knife as well.

Nice work and the knife looks good too. Keep practicing the swivel knife cuts.

Not perfect, but for a first carving I would say you are doing excellent.

Hole Lee smackdaddy hog winkles That's your first, your first and you jumped rite into the floral. Not just floral but Sheridan ! That's way nice, way ! You need to just go ahead and punch out a few more why the iron is hot or is that while the leather is wet. I don't even wanna talk about my first and maybe my only floral. Me and Sheridan go together like octo mom and birth control.

Nice job !! Let's see more.
