what?

POIDH =“Pics Or It Didn’t Happen”  It's an abstract theory that some people subscribe to.

Yeah, it's another way of asking for pics of how it turns out.

[Bert03241]

Well it turned out crappy LOL so I dyed the whole sheath brown to cover it up. If you want a pic of the brown sheath I can do that

I'll try again sometime

I know that you are determined to not own an airbrush but it does make it easier.

Well your right no air brush. I'm not buying something I'm only gonna use a few times . I've done that all to often and have a house full of stuff I don't use, LOL. I do this purely for fun . I'm to old to want to do more then just keep busy . Make a sheath here and there, a holster for fun now and then. I see what you guys do and I want to try it making some of those things. 99% of the stuff I make is still here in a cardboard box LOL. I must have 50 knife sheaths a half dozen gun holsters and tons of key fobs and other stuff.

Did it? or did it just not come out the way you expected it to?

We've had others on here who had 'problems' with dyeing. Some dye spilt on the leather, or not evenly applied et cetera

After some encouragement those crafters took another look at what they had and turned that 'ruined' piece of leather into a unique OOAK

Sometimes you just gotta look beyond the norm and see the piece in an artistic light

I'll try again someday.
