Grunt Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 Here are some pics of some knife sheaths I completed recently. Below are some pics of a couple of sheaths I completed recently. Sometimes I like to hand sew, rather than use my machine. Both sheaths in these pics are made from a double tanned saddle skirting developed for custom saddle makers and finished with Fiebings Aussie Leather Conditioner which contains a large amount of bees wax. I left the edges undyed and simply burnished and sealed them with bees wax. The top sheath is hand-sewn using 7 cord linen thread. The bottom sheath I sewed using my machine. Some additional pics Quote

Members Storm Posted February 15, 2010 Members Report Posted February 15, 2010 Grunt these are beautiful! I love good carving but I really love just great construction and finish. These are some awesome sheaths. The stitching is great too! Storm Quote
