Hand made Creasing Tool

[Ledhep]

Not really seeing what I wanted, I decided to make my own creasing tool. Only have one stock piece for it now, but more will be coming soon, possibly a double and triple stich, and an edge beveler.

Welcome aboard!  Very Nice work!!  Interesting wood; type?

Thank You! It is Snakewood. My son picked up these scales for me last year as a birthday present and I have been waiting to have something to built for myself to use them on.

Looks cool, nice work, and yes, I was going to ask about the wood too, it is very striking.

Looks like a winner!  Are you heating it?  Can you show a picture of the crease line?

I have only made some preliminary crease lines un heated to make sure the head was smooth enough. I do plan on heating it and will be making a belt this weekend, so ill share.

Looks like a very usable design. Nice work. Great wood, too.

it feels real good, there’s a nice crease, I’m going to have to make a shorter head for going around corners. This one is a little too wide.  Also, I need to find a consistent heat source. I used a zippo lighter on this one just to test it.
