Bawarrior Report post Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) I was asked to do this but, didn't want to it a look like a case for a Pez dispenser. Because of its shape I wanted to get away from its natural looks. So I used one of my basic design for a sheath and built up a welt really thick 5 layer. I was able to keep it from looking like it didn't belong. I used 3 different colors to dye tan, mahogany, and black Edited October 17, 2018 by Bawarrior Added more info Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

battlemunky Report post Posted October 18, 2018 I never would've thought of doing it that way but I'm glad you did, it looks really cool and the work is neat as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JazzBass Report post Posted October 18, 2018 Were the holes "dremel-drilled"? I sure wouldn't want to try to get through all of that with a diamond awl! Nice job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bawarrior Report post Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) Thank you for your comments I did break 4 needles while putting it together. It is a real thick welt 5 pieces thick 7 with outer, but I think the thickness actually is a real cool look. Sure it makes the job much harder but in the end that's what makes the difference taking the easy route is less rewarding Edited October 19, 2018 by Bawarrior Added more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rockoboy Report post Posted October 20, 2018 Excellent job, from the shape to the stamping, the edging and the dyeing. I also like the stitch pattern on the back for the belt loop. It adds a bit of interest compared to the standard 2 lines of stitching along the edges of the belt loop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
