I looked and said to myself, "that's machine stitched, I can't do that"

And I still can't do that, but now I know I can try.

Excellent work!

Nicely done, my friend. Each one will be a little easier (hand stitching excluded). A little hint, I would have made the inlay all one piece. It goes on easier and the waste is minimal compared to the time of gluing it down three times. Good Job!

Thank you Paul, I'll try next sheath, as this was for a customer I wanted it as neat as I could do, it all started with your DVDs, the only instruction we have here in Aus.
