Fairly new to leatherwork

[Fairly new to leatherwork]

I'm currently working SE of ATL, in Thomson. Brought most of my gear, to hopefully get a few projects done...

[Fairly new to leatherwork]

Greetings from Georgia (the state, not the country).

I had done a bit of leatherwork, back when I was a Boy Scout (late 80's), but didn't really get into it until last January. Since then I've made many different knife sheaths, a few "art" pieces, some key fobs, a couple of holsters, plus a bunch of smaller items for shiggles...

I'm still learning and reading up on as many tricks of the trade as I can find.

Just a hobby for now, with a few commissions and sales under my belt, but I dont advertise, other than showing my work on a Facebook page:

Excellent work on both the knife and sheath.  Your second try truly hit the mark.

Thank you for the compliment.

I've made many sheaths over the past few months, but had yet to make a back-stitched sheath. The second sheath made for this knife was because I, mainly wanted a sheath I could comfortably wear without worrying about losing the knife. The knife and second sheath have become EDC for me... makes a decent all-around work knife.

Saw a nice tutorial for this back stitched sheath, on another forum. Didn't have a knife to build one for, so I built a knife, then crafted the sheath. Then crafted a second sheath for it the next day.
