Oak Leaf Axe Sheath

[KurseD]

Just finished up the guy for a Norlund camp axe that I restored and I'm gifting it all to a close friend that needs a good pack axe. First attempt at tooling an oak leaf design. Fiebings pro dye in mahogany with a little dark brown hand brushed into the background, then antiqued and coated with Fiebings leather sheen. Hand stitched with Tiger thread.

Hope you enjoy.

Very nice. I like how the leaf comes out over the border

Nice looking work.  I'd like to see more of the axe too.

I'm thinking your friend is going to be pleased.

Agreed! I'm going to need to try that some time, it adds a lot of dimension to the project.
