About a month ago I was out lookin' fer knives out in the garage and found a leather sewing awl I believe my Mom gave me years ago. Well I had purchased a Case Seahorse Whittler for my best brutha Ty for Christmas and thought I might make a little slip sheath for it so it wouldn't get all scratched up riding in his pocket. My first attempt was made of some boot tongue leather and Turned out o.k i thought, but then I decided I wanted to stamp "TY" on it with some brass letter punches I had. I ended up messing the little sheath but good. I decided I should get some quality leather and give it another shot. I found a source in Medford callled Ravenswood Leather (some really nice folks there with gorgeous leather goods) and went home to get to work on it.
Well now I am hooked! I built my Mom one for the lil' Case peanut I got her for Christmas, made a few Leather pouches, an Altoids belt sheath and a belt sheath for a friends Leatherman as a going away gift. I'm thinking about making a nice bag to put on the TW's small rack.
I hope that these phone pics aren't too terrible, I will take some in better lighting and add to this post as more works are completed.
