I finally gave up on streaching the sheath for my 18"AK. So, today I completely disassembeled the sheath and I am going to attempt to make one how I like it. Right now I am planning on using the wood from the first sheath to make the second.
I am going to treat the wood first to make sure all these "HI wood bugs" are out of it. 50/50 linseed oil and spirits I think will do it. This is my first question...will the linseed oil hurt my blade? If so should I apply a spray on laquor to seal and waterproof the wood?
I am going to keep the rig simple and not include the accessories. Using leather from one of the local feed stores, I think I can get a nice western theme going with the sheath...ordinary rawhide will do, right???
If you have any suggestions please post.
Thanks.
