boisdevie Report post Posted June 12, 2009 Hi, I'm a Brit living in Northern France. I'm trained as a cabinetmaker but wanted to find a hobby that I could practise in the house on those cold winter evenings without making too much of a mess and without needing too many tools. My first attempt was a knife and sheath. The knife is a Lapplander 75 that I bought as a bare blade and fitted out with a handle from spalted Sycamore. The sheath and belt mounted possibles pouch are made from 3mm veg tanned leather that I wet formed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badger Report post Posted June 12, 2009 Welcome, Nice utilitarian stuff. Personally I love things who's form is dictated by their function. Need anything from Blighty, lemme know. Badger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
