i then wet formed the sheath and while it was still damp dyed it light brown, i tried to keep the dye uneven which gave a slight aged affect, ive still got to give it a good coat of carnauba cream to finish it completely.

as for the knife i finished it with CCL knife oils (the wood is Afrizal burl)

That certainly does not look like a first attempt, well done.
I admire your passion and patience.
