Woodlore sheath

[rapidboy]

I made this for a guy on another forum.
Copy of a woodlore sheath but in slightly thicker leather and with a fire steel holder.

Tis nice indeed RB, your leatherwork is first class! Are they expensive to produce?

Thanks mojo ,

i don't make them to make money it's really just to get experience.
I don't have a lot a free time at the moment and i find that leather work is very relaxing and totally clears my mind of real work.
Still have a lot to learn.

That's very close to my belt sheath RB (on the left of this picture)

It's a nice bit of work RB

Very nice sheath RB however much it cost

Buckshot your braiding is looking great, that shoulder strap and the multi colour effect are both brilliant.

I will look out for that Mark. I haven't got as far as shoulder straps yet but a few other things have turned out ok recently.

 

[Buckshot]

I thought you were another braider.
Any chance of some pics???

 

[tenbears10]

I will try and get some pics up. There were a couple in the gallery but it's not working again yet.

Any chance of a pic of the back of a Woodlore neck sheath ?
I'd like to try making one of those sometime.

Thanks Buckshot,
Just wondering what it's like to carry on a belt ?
I imagine it's a little restrictive as it can't move out of the way when you sit down.

i've got one of those sheaths and it's a pain to wear on the belt. on the plus side the knife is very secure as the belt feeds over the sheath.
i also wear mine on a baldric, as i find it more convenient and comfortable when wearing a rucksack

 

[Buckshot]

Yeah I'm sure it is RB. I use the other sheath when I want to carry it on my belt.
Here's a picture of the baldric in action...

You can just see the upper tassle tucked under the belt to stop the sheath falling forward when I bend over.

Cheers

Buckshot that is some excellent braiding. I've been thinking about braiding a baldric myself for a bit.

So when's the tutorial gonna be ready?

Very clever ,i think i could get on very well with that sort of set up.
I have tried neck sheath's before and they always seem to be in my way but that looks very good.

 

[Biddlesby]

Wow I'm liking the braiding.

And I'm liking the sheath too. What kind of leather does one use when making a sheath like that (ignoring colour)?

 

[rapidboy]

I use 3 - 3.5mm Shoulder

Wow! How did I miss this thread? rapidboy, your sheath making just gets better and better. Buckshot, I'm in awe of that braiding. Can't wait to see your tutorial!
