Thanks for the tip Nightwolf, I'll have to look into that. -
Western Steampunk Knife Sheath
RoseWolf replied to RoseWolf's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I used Fiebings Mahogany Dye and went over it with a Fiebings Medium Brown Stain after it dried. One of the ways I've found to get the slightly molten coloring like on this sheath is to put a light layer of Neatsfoot oil on the sheath, let it soak until their's no more sheen and then put a healthy layer of dye. Allow to dry and then use the stain to even the tones out. There might be a better way, I've only been at this a little over a year, however, that's the technique I use. Hope that helps. -
Tis' indeed Nightwolf. May the Moon shine ever brightly and the elk move ever slowly.

Dang, that makes it even more impressive. Thanks for sharing the technique, going to have to find a project to try it on. -

Greetings Sporq, The metal piece at the tip is an engraved Chicago Screw (Screw Post), I like to use them where a regular rivet won't work or to give extra strength to a section. -

Beautiful work, the roses are dang near perfect and the coloring really makes the whole thing pop. What type of dyes and process did you use? -
