Scandinavian Knife Sheaths

[Spinner]

I've been looking into how to make these sheaths after I saw the term 'pauting' in reference to leatherworking without cutting into the leather (sort of like whittling whereas all you need is a stick & a knife, all you need for pauting is wet half-tanned leather and a modeling tool). Anyway, I can across this web tutorial that covers Scandi-style sheaths and also Pouch Sheaths with loads of pictures on this guy's process. Hope you find it useful.

Side note: if you read carefully in the last paragraph or so when he talks about finishing, he covers his formula for a homemade, waterproof/resistant finish. Could be handy for those on a budget or are looking for something to try.
