First Custom Axe Sheath

basket weave is top notch!  Nice deep impressions with beautiful burnishing.   I need to practice more....

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.

nice work, I do have a huge problem with it.

It is so nice looking that when I took it off the axe I would not want to set it on the ground while I used the axe.

Very nice! I have a class 3 and it took a while to figure it out. All good now though, but I still do some hand stitching and have been a Maine thread customer for several years now.

Thank you for the kind words, one thing I have found is good stamps make it a lot easier.

I think this axe is more of a display piece, but I would love to see it aged and with a patina.

Thank you, I will make friends with my class 4 just haven't made as many sheaths or holsters to get used to it. I love Maine Thread Co. also.
