I just started into leatherworking, having made my first axe head sheath. It functions, but cosmetically it's pretty bad, especially the stitching. I know this will come with practice, but I think I may have mismatched the chisel and thread sizes.
To start, I will be doing a lot of axe head sheaths. My hobby is restoring old axes, and I thought hand made sheaths would be a good combination. These are my questions -
What thread thickness goes with what chisel size?
What chisel size goes best with what leather thickness?
Is there a best leather thickness for axe head sheaths?
Thanks!
