I made this one for a HOG named Dustin whose girl is apparently a bali flippin' maniac. For a while I've personally felt like my work hasn't been making significant improvements but I think this sheath turned out well. It's my first time using Wickett & Craig's drum died english bridle leather. Usually l use standard veg tan tooling leather and dye to suit. Anyway, check it out:

9 oz. english bridle as described, orange waxed thread, oiled and polished with carnauba wax, one regular snap to lock the pin in place, and a pull-the-dot snap to let the strap swivel out of the way. Thanks for looking.
 
MOTO, Very nice!!! That orange thread would be good for the pumpkin hilts. SWEETTT!!!
 
Absolutely beautiful. Your work never ceases to amaze me. I like the look of that leather. And you got a stamp...Nice!!!! I think I am going to be needing a few more sheaths very soon. Ill shoot you an email later Michael.
 
Yah, my friends were all "what are people going to do when your sheaths are on Antique Roadshow and they don't know who made them?" and really I have no idea what they're talking about - I don't watch TV, except stuff I rent off Netflix. Anyways, I got a stamp so yeah now my unstamped sheaths are collector's items or something. :D I plan on not stamping prototypes, but all production sheaths will get it.
 
Very nice looking, Mike, I really like how that leather looks and the contrasting stitching really defines the borders. Now we need to talk again on those Culti sheaths...........................




.:D
 
Mike, both of the sheaths I got from you are great. They function great and they look great. You are doing a great job on them, plus the fact that you are doing something a little different is cool too. Keep up the great work. Now I just have to wait a little longer for my CGASH1 sheath your making me.
 
That looks superb! I like the contrast stitching :thumbup: I know that there is always room for improvement... but would take a great deal of work to improve what is already so perfect.

That last extra little bit of finish detail takes the most time and work.
 
That is some HIGH QUALITY LEATHER WORK my friend! :thumbup:

Nice work! That reminds me, I need to send you an email... :p
 
That is so friggin nice! Oh, and my name is Dustin. I can't wait!! The orange turned out really good. Looking up your phone number.........:thumbup::D:D:D
 
Amazing work!! I think I might need to order one of those from you for the pumpkin warden.. :D
 
That sheath is not good ..... it's damned close to perfect. You'll be hearing from me. :)
 
Well, I think your work is getting better all the time! :thumbup: I really like the contrasting thread on this one---VERY nice job!
