Knife Sheaths (variety)

Look nice! How'd you do the bottom left one?

They are all cool but those green ones really peaked my interest. Damn they are neat!

Thanks  

My first try at sheaths so I experimented with different styles with pieces of leather from my scrap collection. Luckily the knife maker sent me a variety of blade shapes too!

The bottom left one is made with 5oz leather which was wet molded. The unique coloring was accomplished with a base of orange Fiebing's dye and streaks of dark brown dye. The streaks were done by using a piece of sheep's wool (like I always use to dye leather) but I cut the fur uneven, leaving peaks. Then I lightly brushed the dried orange leather with the dark brown to make streaks.  Once dry I conditioned then sealed with Resolene. Hope my explanation makes sense!
