Simple sheath with Deer Skin lining

[ANovinc]

Hand stitched, pouch style sheath with deer skin lining. Many thanks to Paul Long for helping me up my game with his instructional videos. I've achieved a much cleaner design after using his methods. The butterfly style looks so much better than the fold-overs I was previously doing (IMO). Going to try my hand at a tooled sheath this weekend......scary territory as I hate wasting leather which could happen if it goes awry.... but jumping in is the only way I know to learn.

Did you try doing some tooling? Just a basket weave and border stamp with an edge beveler is the way to start imo. I like the regular fold overs as well as the butterfly design, they're both very classy I think. Paul's videos are really exceptional for sure.

I did try tooling last weekend. I need to work on my depth, and learned the hard way that if you tool at the fold you really lose definition. I'll be trying my hand at tooling again real soon, but need to get a couple more stamps first. I see a visit to Tandy in my near future

I've been pleased with the line of stamps that Hobby Lobby carries. If you have one close enough to make several trips you can use the 40% coupon for each stamp you get!

Thanks, Chris! It didn't occur to me that Hobby Lobby would have stamps I could use for my tooling. I'll check them out.
