I haven’t posted much here but have been learning a lot from everyone. I finally decided to post a couple things. Critique is welcomed

That looks really nice!

That looks great!

Thanks everyone! It’s a huge sword for sure. Chuck123wapiti- that bracket is actually leather covered with the stitching one the outside, no rebar. Spacedog- I did manage to unsheath it (outside of course), I can’t imagine having to carry something like that around.

A friend of mine made a sword and needed a back scabbard made for it. I mostly make belts, holsters and and sheaths, so I figured I could give this a shot.

Beautiful work!

Could you please send me a template as well?

really nice job!

I just experienced the same issue, did you ever find a solution to this?

It was drum dyed, I didn't dye it. Maybe I put the tancoat on too thick? I put pro dye in the tooled initials, didn't have any issues with that. I didn't use any conditioner under the tancoat. I was able to buff it out and even it out, it just seemed unusual that I'd lose any color at all.

You can see where it’s started to pull off the dye, I’m not sure how to fix it or if it’s possible to.

I’m finishing up a laptop bag for a friend’s wife. When I put tancoat on, it started pulling some of the dye out. Does anyone have a recommendation to even out the color?

Really nice belt, you did a great job on the tooling and I like the colors on the belt.

Nicely done
