Here are a couple of my latest rawhide sheaths. Both are veg-tan covered in deer rawhide. One has a snakeskin inlay, and both have deerskin fringe.

Absolutely John!Daniel is not only an influence in my work, but has been very helpful in answering a few questions when I have called or e-mailed. Karen Shook,as you can tell, has had influence on my sheath work, as well as Chuck Burrows of Wild Rose Trading Post. I've never spoke with Karen,but I have studied her work for several years, and Chuck got me started in the right direction in working with rawhide thru a phone call a few years ago. so I owe all these great artists a debt of gratitude!! Luke, Thanks, and I'll give you a call sometime in the near future, and get up there to meet you sometime do this, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys!!! Luke, I,m actually only less than 2hrs from you. I live in a little town called Nettleton, which is about 15 miles south of Tupelo,which you all know is the birthplace of the king of rock and roll,Elvis Presley. I work on towboats Luke, so I come thru Memphis pretty often. Maybe we could meet sometime and you can clue me in about how to get into the whole buckskinning thang.

Thanks for the welcome folks and the nice comments. Look forward to gettin' to know some of you talented people!!!

Thanks Luke! At this point I just make the knives and sheaths, but would like to get into buckskinning.I use deer rawhide over veg-tan, and commercial deerskin for fringe. Here's a couple more

Hi folks! My name is John M Cohea, and I,m a knifemaker/sheathmaker from Ms. I make mainly frontier style period knives with rawhide covered veg-tan sheaths. Here is a small sample of what I do.
