How is your axe sheath?

Here's a few of mine:

the axes that I make usually get a leather mask of some description (the forms of which are pretty wel covered above I think), but the axes that I have in the workshop for myself and others to use rarelly get any clothing unless they come with them. I just never find the time to sit down and make dozens of sheathes to fit different shapes and sizes of axe

As a consequence I have axes masked with socks, offcuts of cloth, strips of leather, rubber tubing, tape, cardboard and a couple that are kept from cutting by a ridiculous layer of rust! (the rust is on an axe I found behind my axe cupboard in the damp clay last week!)

Wow. Fantastic designs and spoilt for choice as to which design to copy/use/alter!

Some of those designs are amazing


But i was wondering where everyone gets their leather from?

Are these they?

Some leatherwork I did for my trail hawk...

I used double Sam Browne studs, which works well as if the strap stretches or breaks you can make a new one in minutes.

Here are some of mine


This is my version of a combined axe and folding saw carrier

I'm just about to attempt to make something along those lines Craeg, you don't have a pattern or any more pictures available do you?

I recently got a nice little hatchet off Big Lebowski so I thought that I would knock up a quick sheath. Got some scrap Veg Tanned at the local leather shop in Newcastle. Then I set about looking for some designs and as many of you will know there are lots to choose from. I decided on a little cover and here are the results, I have never worked with leather before(as you can tell) and was pleasantly surprised at the out come. At just over £1.50 you can't go wrong. I plan to put a retaining strap across the back. All advice taken good & bad.

I like it - nice simple design. The stitching holes aren't very even - I've thought of using a dog comb to mark them out with. It's better than my efforts anyway!

I must get down to this axe mask business.
At the last Sussex meet I had a fall whilst taking my axe back to where I was keeping my stuff, I was very lucky not to have cut myself as it was a large axe, I kept it at arms reach and took the fall and pain that came with it, some 3mm veg tan is what I hope to be ordering soon.
