sweet chestnut bark sheath

[Wild wandering woodsman]

Hi all,
got myself some green sweet chestnut to carve a few things, upon removing the bark I found that it was almost leather like, so dried it out and made myself this neck sheath, stitched with raffia. Turned out better than I expected

Nice. True craft.

Bark is undervalued!

 

[Billy-o]

Nice that is

 

[crosslandkelly]

Nicely done. Bark is a great resource.

 

[Muddypaws]

That is excellent! Good job.

I like that a lot. Nice contrast between the raffia and the bark.
