A new Hawk Sheath!

[Whiskey River]

Here is the sheath I made for this nice Hawk! It's my first attempt at a Hawk Sheath!

Let me know how you like it!

Thanks!

Nice. As your experience grows, each "first attempt" will look less like a first attempt. This piece is evidence of that. After stitching dampen the piece and lightly bone (erase) those machine/awl marks at each of the stitches. Also across the top of the sheath rather than running your camo tool right on the edge, back off at least 50% of the other two borders and finish that area so that it matches the look of the other two sides.

What great tutoring from a professional. I didn't even notice the observations till they were mentioned. I learn many things on this forum. I now see how a very nice sheath can be made even better.

Man!! Sheaths like this really make me want to go out and get some stamps.

Thanks! A little stamp work really makes a nice piece of leather Perk Up!
