Members mikeymoto Posted February 1, 2008 Members Report Posted February 1, 2008 Use an edger and or sand the edges and burnish. Ah, just what I was going to comment. The basketweave on your second sheath, in particular, is excellent -- quite straight and good impressions. The edge and around the belt loops on the first sheath do look rough with their squared edges, and I think it would look a lot better if you bevelled that. Quote
Members Kayak15 Posted February 2, 2008 Author Members Report Posted February 2, 2008 Thanks for all the comments. This is exactly what I was hoping for since I don't know anyone around here that is doing leather work and like I said before, Tandy is 60 miles away - long way to go to get advice! Thanks again. kayak15 Quote
Members AKRob Posted February 3, 2008 Members Report Posted February 3, 2008 HAh! Tandy Was 1,000 miles away until last October. You learn to make do bone smoth wood carpentry tools etc. Get a slicker (a smooth hammer handle or even the barrel of a pen will work. slick those edges after you get them damp. by allmeans dye that leather when it is damp and use a wool patch about 3x3" cover the leather in just a few smooth motions, let it dry. add Tan Coat when your done.
