Welcome to Bladeforums! I'm sorry I don't know a thing about leathercraft, but you should be able to get an expert at this site: http://www.knifeforums.com/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Sheath+Making+and+Leather+Craft+101&number=19&DaysPrune=10&LastLogin=

Welcome, Tracy. EB beat me to it. The sheath-making forum at KF is moderated by master leathercrafter Sandy Morrissey. Lots of great info there and lots of people willing to answer questions and share their knowledge.

I don't know about paraffin, but I use SnowSeal on most of my leather stuff -- boots, packstraps, sheathes. Rub it on and heat with a blow drier until it melts in. Works great!
Thank You! Yes, EB was kind enough to point me in the right direction. I have so many questions. I appreciate everyone sharing their knowledge with me. What books would you suggest for general knowledge? I do know about knife making materials, and do have extensive background in metals, so I think I have that covered pretty well. I am looking for how to know what the best knives are, what are the most rare, and what are the most popular, and oh, I could go on forever, but I will try and use some self-control
Thanks again!
