I was going through my Photobucket pics today and I found a pic of the first Busse sheath I made. Here are some pics of my first leathermaking attempts and a few of my latest. I recall getting my first side of leather and my wife asking me what in the world I was going to do with all of that leather. I wasnt too sure either and I figured the side would be a lifetime supply. :eek:

I seems a bit funny as I usually buy 8-10 sides at a time now and think nothing of it.

This last year and a half has been great. I found a bunch of great folks here and I get to contribute to the overall Busse community and at the same time the leatherwork helps to fund my Busse addiction. :D:D:D

My first sheath was the brown Skelly warden sheath in this picture.

And a few of my latest.

Your work has really improved from being great, to being stellar and on par with any leather worker in the business. :thumbup:

Great stuff as usual!!!
 
Man, that's a killer first sheath! :D

Those are all great pics - sometimes I go to your website just to look at the sheath pics on there. Nice website, too, by the way. :thumbup:
 
Your work started out good and has only gotten better, excellent looking sheaths:thumbup:


Love that TC holster, what caliber and scope you using?

I've went to all Burris on my scoped handguns. Leupold on long guns, but the Burris handgun scopes have a great field of view.
 
Chuck, I was really am impressed and satisfied with the two sheaths I've received (a FBMLE and HOGFSH) few month back. Thanks for the great workmanship. Nice pictures, thanks for sharing.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::D
 
Great work, brother. If I ever decide on leather, rest assured you'd be one of the guys on my short list.
 
Why am I thinking about Jack Nicklaus shooting a 57 on the first nine holes he ever played? Must be something to do with natural talent.

Ken, The Tc belongs to a friend, it was a 7x30, that sheath gave me fits as he didnt want a strap/snap, I ended up working out a tab to hold the gun in that you push with your thumb, he has used it for hunting and he is still happy with it. I laugh looking at it now with that nasty looking dye job. :D

On a side note I went shooting today and had a blast, I got my sig 220ST, M1 Garand, Ruger 10-22, SW K22, Ar-15 and Beretta 96 all very dirty. :D:D

A friend brought a shotgun and a clay pigeon thrower along also, and he was very good. I on the other hand need some practice.:grumpy:
 
Bro,

That first sheath is great (no wonder you jumped in headfirst -- you're a natural!) But your recent stuff is just incredible, awesome work!
 
Nice sheaths! That ffbm game warden piggyback rig looks familiar.:eek:;)

Xaman, Thanks.. I saw the carving you did and it looks great. I cant seem to find the time to practice carving.

Stropko, it should look familiar. :D I should have your next one done in the next few days. I just finished cementing the whole thing together. I will let it dry overnight and get the sides sanded tomorrow.
