Members cybertrix Posted September 14, 2009 Members Report Posted September 14, 2009 My name is John and I live in Nottinghamshire in the UK. I am a hobbyist knifemaker and have been making my own sheaths for a year or so but I need help to make my sheaths look better. I would like to get into sheridan style carving and I have seen some exquisite examples here so I look forward to learning from you all. My current efforts. Quote

Contributing Member UKRay Posted September 15, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted September 15, 2009 Hi John, there are quite a number of Brits on this forum. In the main we're a friendly bunch! Your knives look superb. What wood have you used for the handles? Ray Quote "Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps" Ray Hatley www.barefootleather.co.uk

Looks nice on everything I tried it on. Thanks for the welcome chaps. Quote

Thank you all for the great welcome, I have been looking at the great work, posts and tutorials and have started my first piece of Sheridan carving today. A piece that was too ambitious to be honest but I couldn’t wait. I will post a picture when it's done. Quote
