McSkiver Report post Posted April 13, 2014 very nice sheath ! what dye did you use ? the sheath almost looks wooden , i love the look. Basically I used a local product first, a water based similar product to super sheen, It resist ever so slightly depending on the amount of coats, then I dyed with another local product tan brown using a small sponge , the last step I again used our super sheen equivalent and that's it, I tried for an aged look, the embossed stamp I wiped lightly with antique finish and also touched up with a small brush, the edges are antique dye thick coated. Our dyes here are not as good as In the USA, I'm from South Africa , Cape Town Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
