My First Custom sheath by Gary W. Graley

While still healing up from a nasty cut I was able to make this repair for Steve, the original pad of leather had weakened from corrosion around the base of the brass stud. And I had to get the base separated from the stud as it was a compression fit
I had to follow the fine stitching holes that were already in and buy some thinner thread I bought some Tiger .6mm thread as my regular thread was too thick, the Tiger thread is some very tough stuff !

And I applied some leather conditioner to the whole sheath as well.
