There are a great many people all over youtube and the 'net in general who could learn a lot about presentation from your videos, clear and to the point; nicely done!

What a comprehensive and well presented video. Thanks for a great tutorial! I will put a birch bark sheath on my to do list.

I really enjoyed watching that Neil. Thanks for going to the effort of making the video. You have a new subscriber.

Bit of a thread bump here, as I finally got around to making a bark sheath, and I thought I would post the pictures here, rather than start a new thread.

So here is my attempt at a sheath for my home made small woodcarving knife.

A bit rough and ready, and no belt loop (this broke during the making, as the bark was quite thin), but I only need to protect the knife in my carving tool pouch. This will replace a cardboard and duct tape blade cover.

So thank you Neil for the video and the inspiration!
