Edvin Report post Posted September 9, 2011 Hi all! My name is Edvin Sjöberg and just found this great resource. Glad to be a part of it and learning! I have a background in archeology but is currently working on finishing my Bachelor of Industrial Design (B.I.D.). Most of my work with leather have been reconstructing artifacts from viking age Scandinavia, in particular objects from the small island of Gotland. Belts, boots, knifes and bags. Mostly for fun and enjoyment but I can sell a decent amount of work. Now I am looking to expand my knowledge of more modern techniques and getting inspired of all great projects here. Thanks for looking! http://audhumbla.se/ http://edvinsjoberg.blogspot.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edvin Report post Posted September 11, 2011 Thank you all! I have a small page on Facebook with more projects posted in the galleries, please stop by if the work interest you. I am afraid it´s to many pictures to post here. http://www.facebook.com/Audhumbla.se Whinewine, the metal fittings on the sheaths is custom made for each knife from brass plate. I have a short tutorial posted on my blog in English if you would like to see how it´s made: http://edvinsjoberg.blogspot.com/2011/09/making-knife-sheath-fittings.html http://edvinsjoberg.blogspot.com/2011/09/making-knife-sheath-fittings-part-2.html The original sheaths from late 8th to 11th centuries would look something like these: Birka: Kopparsvik: Vendel: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
