Just finished up another sheath, this time a bit smaller than the Bowie knives I have been doing. It was a little small for carving so went with basket stamp and border. First project they were used on because of the size it looked better.
Let me know areas that I can improve on so my skills progress.
Thanks Walt
Since my sister wanted the other knife sheath when I posted it. It was time too make another with some changes in tooling slight but I feel they add to the sheath. Got a fun one coming up a Gherka knife to do with with a Gherka Cigar style design to it.
Thank you, It is a Double Rope Basket weave from BK Tools, I used a Cobra class 4 sewing machine adjusted to my liking, 128 thread. I thought of hand stitching but wanted to use sewing machine for ease. Hope this helps.
I decided to antique and oil because of my skill at painting. Thank you
Agreed
Thank you, I am new to painting too scared to ruin it so played it safe.
Thank you for the nice words, I was too scared of painting to try. Maybe next time.
Working on a new knife sheath, this is testing me. 48% of original size on the deer is tiny. The pattern is Jim Linnell's. the class is great. Now the dilemma do I oil antique or paint the deer. Wife says paint, but I am nervous.
Saw Springfield Leather Co. make a fly fishing wallet and it looked fun, this is my first attempt and have decided to change some things already. Fly fisherman are very serious about there craft.
Thank you will post finished photos tomorrow.
I like your interpretation it is cool, love the basket weave. Please post full photo of it love to see it.
I am in the process of making a wallet for a Brick Mason, it is a commissioned piece. I was left with some ideas of his type of person and left to come up with a Bi-Fold wallet. I truly enjoy this type of work as it allows me to have some fun with it. The wife has seen the back and loves it so it is a win so far. Will post finished pics when done.
Thanks for looking.
