Tankard Seam?

[Techmiller]

I saw this seam on a tankard and was trying to figure it out.

Does anyone know what kind of seam this is?

Do you have any link to instructions for this?

I think it looks cool but I am not sure how the inside is attached, is it sewn, or just pulled through holes and the sealant (Wax or pitch) holds it together?

Thanks!

No one has any ideas?

I am making a Scabbard (or if you prefer, a long, narrow Sheath) out of 12 oz. Veg-tan leather for a digging tool. I have the leather parts cut to size & shape and the edges roughly rounded in the appropriate areas but they still need sanding smooth. Final finishing of the edges to be done later.

I did some blue markings on your picture...Just take out your scalpel/knife and cut, then put the piece in opposite hole like a zipper function. I hope this makes sense :-)

Have a look through this thread stitchless case

Awesome! Thank you for the reply!

I will have to try this out sometime.

I tried this stitch-less technique on a piece of scrap and it turned out surprising well! It took a bit of work to get the interlocking pieces to co-operate but the result was nice.
