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.

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.

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.
