Hi All,
Bit more elbow rehab in the form of leather work This will be the last for a bit as it might be time to get back on the wood tools
So this old hatchet was in dire need of a new sheath. It had been clothed in hand-me-down sheath's from my other axes so it was time for some new.
As usual before making anything I usually look up the work of others on here for inspiration/cheating. This time it was Luckylee which is often the case. He came up with this design where the axe comes up out the top. Its a little rushed as I wanted it finished to try it out in the woods, the build is a bit tricky to get a snug fit so its a little tight but from experience that never lasts. Seems to work pretty well although I dont know how much time I will carry any axe on my belt but it is handy.
Few pics.
