First time making an axe sheath

[Buzzard2005]

I've made some wallets and a bunch of headphone wraps by looking at what was out there and figuring out what I wanted. With the axe sheath, I have seen a lot of knife sheaths that are wet formed and thought I would give it a shot, I have wet formed catch alls in the past and they turned out well.

Any and all pointers appreciated.

Here is the wet form.

Buzzard, I think axe sheaths are more difficult to form than most knife sheaths.  I just made a cover for a double bit axe to protect    the edges of the axe.  Wasn’t sure how to begin so I made a paper template by tracing the axe, the cut two covers, one for each side, and used line 24 snaps to secure everything.  The thickness on the blade edges is almost 3/4” - 2 layers of 8-10 oz plus the welts.  Don’t think this design will work for a carry sheath, but will provide protection for the blade.
