First Sheath.

[Dave]

Made my first sheath today, and am chuffed with the result. Knife is a PB Bushman TZ with a walnut handle and it turned out a nice snug fit.

I used fiebings professional oil walnut dye but nothing else yet.
Will Ren Wax darken it?
Should I dip it in Neetsfoot Compound?
Any suggestions how to seal it?

Nice one Dave. Great first sheath.

Ren wax won't affect the colour in any way once dry, that is why museums use it on historical pieces and fine art and paintings.

Cheers Jon.
I'll leave it overnight and try the Ren Wax tommorow then.
