Agricultural? Lol, looks pretty good to me! I wonder what you consider artisan?

Looks lovely! I like the colour, a nice change from traditional dark brown. I think thats smashing for a first attempt too! Cant wait to see what else you make!

Nice job Mike :You_Rock_

Funny i had a LordF spear point bushy here this week for a sheath, first time i'd had a chance to handle one and i really like it.
Smaller than i imagined and all the better for it IMO.

What sort of belt loop did you make and what colour dye did you use ? - i like it

Cheers mate

It is smaller than some but as you say, better for that really.

The belt loop is just a simple fold over as I tried to keep this a easy as poss. Colour is Fiebings mahogony, just one coat then wax polish. It turned out lighter than I thought it would but it's a nice rich shade.

I use Feibings Mahagony myself but that has a real nice almost "ox blood" look to it, nice job
