Let's Build Some New Sheaths ----Finished New Camo Sheaths

[Skystorm]

I have something new I am trying out in 2 different patterns, I'm still waiting on some odds n ends in order to start the second design but we can build the first.


Let's get cutting!


Chopped out the main bodies, belt loops and split the inlays.

Can't forget the welts and wedges

Last minute add in. I realized the other day that I have never inlaid one of the crossdraw sheaths I build. Let's throw a couple in for wiggles and giggles.

Split and cut out for the inlays.

Rummaged around in one of the buckets for a minute. Off white gator and black shark. Works for me. Snip snip

Getting all the inner edges dyed and burnished. Can be a bit difficult getting in the corners without slopping dye everywhere so we use modelers paint brushes.

Getting all the belt loops glued for stitching.

Ditto on the welts and wedges

Sanded the wedges into wedges if that makes sense.

Getting the belt loops ready for stitching

That's all for today. Tomorrow the inlays get sewn in and splits get glued back on. I am purposely not showing what the inlays are on these Mountain sheaths, it's a surprise, we will see if you guys like them. Our test designs out in the wild have had very favorable reviews.


See ya tomorrow. Same cow time, same cow channel.

That's a lot of clamps! I own 6.

I have boxes of those things. They are cheap but you gotta chuck them after a year or so, the teeth on the ratchet portion wears out.

Yeah, I was thinking, that's a nice shop, but it sure could use some more clamps.

Looking forward to more. I wish everyone would do these. It's fascinating to watch.

[Skystorm]

Yours isn't in the pictures lol. I did try and talk you into an inlaid one though. Then I couldn't get the idea out of my head.

Moving on



Didn't see that coming eh?

Getting all 50 million holes punched and stitching laid out.

Then I got distracted for awhile staring.

Still staring

Stitched and finished, I'll get more pics later. It's been a long week.

Looks like you connected with your dream recluse! Nice work.

Those are some amazing sheaths! And you have a killer Recluse!! That is the one knife I have wanted for years but she has eluded me every time.

One of these days Skyler, one of these days...
