The Art Of Making Leather Cases by Al Stohlman

Here is what I strongly suggest. Get this book, it does a better job explaining and showing the basics as any on-line teaching method could.

I made my first sheath following instructions in this book, and I still refer to it often. I believe it's a "must have" for anyone into making leather projects.

He illustrates several sheath styles:thumbup:

That book should be in every leather worker's library, the other two are good, but that one has a very good amount of info. Stohlman has a library of books on everything from how to sew leather to how to carve it.

Another good one is "Knifemaking: A Complete Guide to Crafting Knives, Handles, & Sheaths" by Bo Bergman

One of the best semi modern books with good sheathmaking tips is "How to Make Knives" by Richard W. Barney and Robert W. Loveless.
