AndyL1 Posted January 29, 2021 Report Posted January 29, 2021 Finally found some time to make a sheath for my LW round knife. Hot Tip: I like using Tandy’s black All-In-One for antiquing some things. It’s a terrible dye but a great antique! Brush it on and when dry it kind of wipes off here and there when I apply Resolene to seal. It gives it a weathered look that I was going for here. I also added a PDF of the pattern I made for this morning f you’d like to make yourself one. The strap I made a little longer than needed so placement can be how you like it to be. Enjoy!

That’s my custom Leather Wranglers SK-V with pyrographed artwork by Britt Nantz. It has my initials on one side and Celtic hounds on the other.

Members hashtagartz Posted January 29, 2021 Members Report Posted January 29, 2021 Did you laser cut the leather? Quote

The PDF I included up there contains vector lines if you’d like to lase it too. Quote Blackthorn Leather on Etsy • Blackthorn Leather on Facebook

It’s great software. Quote Blackthorn Leather on Etsy • Blackthorn Leather on Facebook

But now, Adobe in it's greed no longer allows you to buy the software as a one and done. It's subscription based so it can get $$. Quote
