I recieved a couple of things over the Christmas period that I'm particularly happy with, and thought I'd share them with everyone.
First to arrive was a laplander saw sheath and firesteel holder from Graham(g4ghb)
A really nice bit of work, beautifully made and a perfect fit. I believe he'll be making some more, so if you want one......

A few days later, I received this from a nice chap called Jim (Kerne) I saw them on a thread a while back, and just had to have one!

I think you can guess what happened next!
I soaked the leather in warm water for about 5 minutes, and then g-clamped the stamp in place for about half an hour. Then, after it had dried out, I gave it a good coat of Nikwax and a bit of a polish. This is how it turned out:

I was well happy with the results, so I went a bit mad!

I'm chuffed to bits with the results, it's a great way to personalize your kit, and both Graham and Jim are absolutely fantastic guys to deal with. Thanks again to you both.
