First holster, first time using Wicket and Craig and braided thread. Everything was going good 'till about an inch from the end of my edging.
Thanks for looking comments welcome.

This is my first attempt at a sheath I'm kind of embarrassed to post this with all the amazing work on this thread but here goes. I like the way the front looks but my holes didn't line up with my groove on the back but I guess ill get better with practice. Thanks for looking

reiko,
I think the sheath looks great.
I don't know how to tell you but it took me a long time to get the holes on the back to come out right , And I still need some inprovment but I can get buy with what I have done.

I did this one yesterday for a Loveless style hunter that's almost done. Much happier with Wicket & Craig the nylon thread is the look I'm after.
I used a drill press for the stich holes then a diamond shaped awl through those holes, still the back side holes are not lined up. I stich groove the front befor drilling and the back after.
Thanks for looking.

Here is an axe sheath I finished today. Nowhere near the quality I see on here but an enjoyable hobby for me. Learning alot on here and a little more with each one I make. I mostly make sheaths for my edge tools, mainly chisel gaurds and such.

Looks like you paid close attention to detail.:thumbup:

Very nice Outlaw!

Keep the pics coming!

Here are 2 of my most recent:

Simple butterfly pouch for a big curved skinner, 8/9oz with a beeswax/paraffin/neatsfoot finish.

And a boot sheath for a skeleton knife. 8/9oz 2 tone dyed veg tan. Both of these have a "hammered" look that I did using the ball end of my ball pien hammer. This was my first 2 tone dye job.

reiko, no need to be embarrassed...that is a fine looking sheath. Plain, simple and useful.
Depending on how you make your holes for the stiching, for instance if you use a dremel with a drill bit or a punch or awl or whatever. Just make sure you are holding the tool at the proper angle to get the holes to line up in the grooves on each side. I struggled with this and still do from time to time. Some times I dont even put a groove on the back until I have the holes drilled. then I groove over the holes. Just check after every couple of holes to make sure you are lining up and continue. looks like some nice tight stiching there...Well Done!
