ShortBBL Report post Posted August 22, 2010 Ok, this is the first project i have made with leather. I am very happy with how it turned out, although, I know it can get better with some other steps. (burnishing instead of edge coat for instance. All in all..... I am happy with it! How do you like it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abn Report post Posted August 26, 2010 Pretty amazing for a first project... I'd say you have a bright future as a leatherworker ahead of you! Is the sheath machine-stitched or hand-stitched? The stitching looks great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The stitching looks great. Thanks, I hope you're right! The stitching is machine stitching, with a Cobra 4. I just got the machine 10 days ago.... so I played with learning to stitch until I got it down.... then tried to piece this big sheath together. I guess it turned out OK! My learning here, there and asking peoples ideas/help on this forum and bladeforums, has really helped! Thanks to all who gave ideas and to those of you who did so... but didn't even know it! This site is a super big help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biker55 Report post Posted September 8, 2013 If this is your first project, you need to open up your own business! great piece of work. I'm also new at this, but I think I'm going to have to practice for a few more years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malabar Report post Posted September 9, 2013 Well done! That is very nice. Is that a Busse? Did you hand-stitch that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
