Members smudley Posted September 17, 2011 Members Report Posted September 17, 2011 Hi all, Thought I would post this project I finished for a customer. He has a custom made knife he wanted a frontier style sheath for. He had a picture of the basic style sheath he wanted, which helped. This is the first sheath of this style I have done. These normally have rawhide outer shells, but he wanted me to use his distressed upholstery leather to save himself some money. No problem.....ok, maybe a little problem. I had to do some experimenting, and use some different techniques to get this to go together, stay formed properly, and look right. I made the horsehair tassles, and "antiqued" all the tin cones, as well. I learned quite a lot from this project, and want to thank Chuck Burrows for his advice on this project. Any and all critiques/suggestions are welcome. Quote
Members DuaneS Posted September 17, 2011 Members Report Posted September 17, 2011 I like it, it's a great match to that knife handle. Quote
