Members JMCohea Posted February 10, 2008 Members Report Posted February 10, 2008 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. Quote
Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted February 10, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted February 10, 2008 HELLO John & Welcome.. Knives and sheaths looks great, What type of leather did you use. Are you a Buskskinner or just make knives and sheaths? Quote Luke
Members JMCohea Posted February 10, 2008 Author Members Report Posted February 10, 2008 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 Quote

Members JMCohea Posted February 13, 2008 Author Members Report Posted February 13, 2008 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. Quote
