First attempt at a wet formed leather sheath...

[Hunkyfunkster]

...for my car key. I know it's not particularly bushcrafty, but this is is my first attempt at making something with leather and I think it's really spurred me on to try other things. I can see all the places I went wrong, and I was only using tools I had or made as needed. I think I might've caught the leather work bug

Nicely done.

Thank you. I was a bit nervous and it took me a while to post the pics, there are so many talented people on this site.

I've been using it about a week now and can see loads of room for improvement. Might start a mark II at some point...

You've caught the bug then.

A fine bit of work, especially for a first go.
