Got a Hultafors Felling Axe HY 20 the other day. It came without a sheath, so I made one myself. I used plywood, paracord, felt pads and paint - here is the result:
Axe wooden sheath
- Thread starter vestlenning
- Start date
Decidedly black...who'd have thought?
Light grey would have been more practical, but black looks better imo...
Dreadhead
Bushcrafter through and through
kjempebra! It's nice to see something different, I really like that, especially with the leather inside very smart
Thank you all for the kind words! Rather different this sheath, but that's how it goes when you're more familiar with wood than leather.
Nice job, excellent idea..
Here's mine. Materials used, Leather from a three piece suite, double layered. A wooden insert shaped to cover the blade edge and glued into place with pine pitch glue, stitched together with copper wire then sealed with pine pitch.

That's come out really nicely Steve. Has a Native American feel too it. I like to see axes covered well like that. Working in forestry used to see too many folk just chucking axes into a trailer or the back of a van where they'd get dinged about. Always kept me snedding axe covered and seperate so that it was kept tiptop.
