Hi Sawyer,

That scabbard looks great.

I like the project, but have doubts about using sheep shearing as a liner.

If the scabbard is going to be used outdoors the shearing might attract moisture.

Oil and dirt particles are going to collect over time and become a problem when it "grinds" off the beautiful finish of that masterpiece!

I personally would have added a zipper to be able to clean out the sheep shearing if necessary.

Hi Dirkba,

I only use the case for transport in my vehicle to and from the range, I wipe the gun down before putting it back in the case and take it out when I get home.

I thought about that when I built this and decided to use shearling Knowing I have to be very careful about dirt and grim.
