Hey everyone, what a wonderfull crowd here at BCUK, and what a lovely forum, it has been a real discovery for me
But let talk bussiness , This here is my first knife sheath, i made for my Svante Djarv carving knife, since it didnt have a sheath and I use to carry it around allot. I made some obvious mistakes from which I already learned. On one side my stitching is off because of a badly made DIY awl I used for this, ( made from a nail and a drilled out handle, but the nail kept bending... sad story over there) Now I have something a bit more sturdy.
But still guys give me some tips, I'm working with a new medium over here
I would like to let my stitching sink into the design so any pointer on that, would be very welcome.
then here are some shots from my new DIY Awl and the last pic of my sheath ( where you can clearly see its double layer leather and not triple)
So please, if you have any pointers (like you wouldnt ^^) please help me out, getting into this new medium
ps will post some of my woodworking later on
