Prospecting for Leather

[Rick Marchand]

This is a little job I recently did for a friend. Living within the Canadian Shield makes for some good prospecting... if you know where to look. He had just bought a new chisel and decided that carrying it in his pocket was just too uncomfortable and throwing it in a pack was inconvenient. He also carries a small hatchet on his outings which is lashed to his daypack. Wanting a cover for his hatchete and a belt sheath for his chisel he shipped me the two without any forewarning.... sneaky... he figured I'd do it if it got in my way enough.... he was right.... after dropping it on my toe a couple times, I finally got fed up so I "sheathed'em and heaved'em".

nice leather work, very clean and plain.

i just got through grinding on almost the same hatchet for TonyM (same hatchet different markings)

i got to play with it a little over the weekend, i was surprised at how well it worked for such a tiny blade. i can't wait to do a little chopping with it again to see if i thinned it enough.

Beautiful workmanship and delightfully simple designs! Who could ask for more? (And now the chisel doesn't have to worry about unprotected sex either!)

Man beautiful work! Love the coloring on those sheaths.

Is that a Smith&Wesson Buulseye hatchet? If so I was suprised at how well it works. Takes good deep bites.
