  1. Nice job, just something I've learnt with bags , the weak point is your straps and ladies tend to overload bags, so extra stitching or rivets to secure the straps always help.
  2. As above , I wet the flesh side and burnish it until it is smooth as glass.....then I apply either neatsfoot to make it a bit supple or a finisher , I'm not American so our products are different I do this with bag straps and often belts , so far pretty good results, including my own belts worn daily.
  3. I find the type of knife used affects the ability to cut a straight line, so im now using a rotary cutter with a long steel ruler, works better than other cutters.
  4. Thanks, appreciate the input, going to do another this weekend , waiting for the knife to arrive.
  5. Basically I used a local product first, a water based similar product to super sheen, It resist ever so slightly depending on the amount of coats, then I dyed with another local product tan brown using a small sponge , the last step I again used our super sheen equivalent and that's it, I tried for an aged look, the embossed stamp I wiped lightly with antique finish and also touched up with a small brush, the edges are antique dye thick coated. Our dyes here are not as good as In the USA, I'm from South Africa , Cape Town
  6. This is a belt sheath for a hunting knife, critiques welcome
