Leather sheath

[blgoode]

Does someone have a list of materials needed for making a leather sheath? Where do I get the leather from? Also will I need a die or just use bees wax? Never worked with leather so all info is appreciated. Thanks

Go to graymaker's site http://www.knivesby.com/knifemaking.html
Scroll down to the sheaths section and you will find several different tutorials. My two on sewing and the sewing pony give you a list of the various tools needed.

For additional info on Leather Finishes go to www.ckdforums.com Scroll down to the sheaths forum and at the top is a sticky post discussing sundry leather finishing techniques. One of the other stickys gives various leather suppliers.
Here are some on line sources:
