GRANSFORS SFA custom made Mask.

[topknot]

Hi,
The mask is made from 3.5mm leather, double thick around the front part this will give more leather on the safety side.
The axe mask is 5 layer at the front and bottom, the hole are all Awl by hand (No drilling of holes). All hand stitched with tiger thread (i do not rate linen thread on working leather stuff, that's just me)
The strap which hold the axe in place is plaited this is how the customer want it.
The colour is mid brown with black stitching and is sealed inside and out.

Thank you for looking
All comments welcome

Cheers Topknot

How do you do that plait

 

[Bearded Bugs]

Looks really nice, love the colouring of it. Is that a normal Gränsfors sheath inside it?

How do you do that plait

I think it's just a normal plait but the other end has to be passed through on each weave - I gave it a go with paper & it seemed to work

No mate it's all custom made.


To get the plait to look right is the hard bit.

The angle of the inner part looked similar that's all. Good job though!
