Sheath Makers.. A Question

[ShortBBL]

I would like to add a loop of leather to hold the popular fire rods... Like the Light-my-fire ones. How do you guys do that?

Thanks!

I cut the welt for the width of the loop inlay, skive the loop leather so it is as thick as the welt, then glue it in, as I do with the welt then stitch it up. Seems like the way to do it but I couldn't tell you for sure. It works for me.

Thanks! That was my guess on how to do it... I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to make a big boo-boo.

Don't be afraid to make the boo-boos....that's how you learn.

The notching out of the welt is how I do them too.....works fine.
