Teulu is definitely unsure

Teulu is sniping. He's spotted a very tasty looking stick hanging out of my axe head

Nice job. I reckon, if you trim the 2 edges back to just behind the holes, you should be able to salvage that one. After all, the lacing on the back will hold it tight and doesn't get hit. That way the rest of the leather can be saved for your next axe .

Version 2 completed today. This time with an attempt at a pattern and a different lacing method.

Took the holes away on one side only because I thought taking them away on both sides would leave the back exposed, but what if wanted to use it is a hammer.

Amazing how far a single sheet of leather can go. Tonight I used the last of it and made a far better sheath than the standard one the Hultafors arrived with which doesn't actually stay on!

Well pleased with this.

Amazing, that small piece really has gone a long way. Looking good.

It has indeed. I made the most of it.

Thank you again.

First thing I ever made in leather for mine, I used 2mm paracord for the lacing, put the leather on wet to get stretch and when it dried it shrunk and is nice and tight.
