Little New ,need Help Please, Wet Form Tooling

[just smile]

Hey yall,

I am a little new to leather working . I have done some things already like cell phone cases. I was just asked to do a cross draw friction knife sheath.

Here is my problem. Up till now when I do phones I make a wooden form to wrap te leather around. It also serves for a place for me to tool . The knife in question is round folding knife...... How do I tool the leather ????? Would I tool it before I form it or after??? If after what do I use for a hard surface???????

Please help

Thanks

I had a similar question about molding a holster with a basketweave design.
