Bondurant, what you said "main point is to not drill or burn cause once the leather is gone the hole cannot close" makes the most sense to me so far and I now understand your point. I'll get a better looking stitch that way.. I'll have to try that trick in my drill press with a sharp point, I'll grind down an old small nail or something.. thanks ! Thanks, I'll check out that book !

Very nice inlay work, beautiful sheath !

Thanks TexasJack and MadMaxx for the feedback, I'm not sure what to use other than the dremell tool for making the holes in the thick leather ? Here is my second attempt at an inlay ... better stitching this time I think ... but you can still see those big holes there ...

Well it's not a drill bit but no far from it .. it's some kind of leather working sewing awl needle that I put in a dremell tool. I don't have access to a professional type leather stitching machine... I've done better stitching jobs than this .. was in too much of a hurry ... any tips or suggestions ?

Great work .. I'm just starting in this leatherwork and WOW... I would love to be able to do something like this !

Nice work !

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and a newby when it comes to leatherwork. I love all the projects I've seen people make and would love to aquire the talent to do similar work. My hat is off to all of you. I've been making plain sheaths for my hunting knives that I make and lately I started to get a little more fancy. Here is my rattlesnake skin inlay sheath I just finished a few weeks ago. Hope you like it or can give me some suggestions. Thanks,

Nice work, I would like to make something like this !

Pretty cool rig, just hope the gun is not loaded or you risk shooting yourself in the butt

That's an awesome job there ! great work !

Beautiful work Tim !
