A couple of sheaths made

[Ch@rlie]

I don't post regular here, but quiet often enjoy reading the posts.
Prior to the sheaths I'm posting now I've only made one other from a belt for a Mora I had re handled.

I do believe I'm getting the bug for leather work,

The first sheath is for an old German Bowie knife made from leather reclaimed from part of an old saddle.
Second sheath is using a new piece of 3mm veg tan. (The original sheaths are next to them empty)
I didn't own any stamps so decided I would attempt to make my own from 5" nails. I got quite carried away making these I believe there is now about 60 in my container.
I used a couple of my home made stamps on the 3rd sheath which was a gift for a good friend for his vintage Bowie knife. (Also from new 3mm veg tan)

I look forward to reading any feedback good or bad...



I have added this image to show I have made it equally wider at the top

Tidy work. I like the weave stamping.

Thanks for the comments

Nice sheaths, and it is excellent that you made your own leather stamps - that sort of "can do" attitude is an admirable trait!
