Members WalterF Posted July 6, 2021 Members Report Posted July 6, 2021 This is my first custom axe sheath for a friend. It is made with 9-10 oz Herman Oak leather, and Maine Thread Co. thread. Hand Sewn because I haven't made friends with my class 4 sewing machine yet. Quote
Members DJole Posted July 6, 2021 Members Report Posted July 6, 2021 Nicely done! With a sheath as good looking as that, you almost don't want to take it out into the woods to get dirty and muddy! Quote \D. Jole \ --> <http://djole.altervista.org/djole/Publications/Leather/Lindex.htm>
Members WalterF Posted July 6, 2021 Author Members Report Posted July 6, 2021 Thank you, It is more of a display axe, Damascus steel very pretty, so I don't think he will take it into the woods. But I would love to see it in 3 or 4 years after aging. Quote
RockyAussie Posted July 6, 2021 Report Posted July 6, 2021 Looks pretty good to me. Why you not made friends with the class 4 yet?? should be perfect for that sort of job. Quote Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram
Members Daffy Posted July 6, 2021 Members Report Posted July 6, 2021 Nice! + I agree, shake hands with that 4! gave me a reason to dump the scraps I had accumulated. Very little hand stitching done now. Quote Keep your knives sharp and your powder dry.
PastorBob Posted July 6, 2021 Report Posted July 6, 2021 Very nice indeed. Love the nice straight lines of the basket weave. Quote In God's Grace, Pastor Bob "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8 www.PastorBobLeather.com YouTube Channel
Members rleather Posted July 6, 2021 Members Report Posted July 6, 2021 What a great job! I love the color, is it natural with just NF oil? Nice execution on the basket weave it does not get any better than that. Quote

I mis-stitched ruining the sheath. I will make friends with it. 9 hours ago, Daffy said: Nice! + I agree, shake hands with that 4! gave me a reason to dump the scraps I had accumulated.
