Some of my work

I wouldn't really consider my self a sheath maker, but here are some sheaths I have done recently.
Most are modest deep carry pouch style. Let me know what you think.

Wow nice tooling!

Awesome tooling. Also, how do you get the dye to look so much like wood grain? I'd love to try it.

I, too, love the woodgrain look to the brown sheaths...please share your secret

The shape and the finish looks great!

Hey guys thanks for the compliments, it is no trick really, I use the Eco flo dye from tandy leather which is kind of a gel.
When I apply it I use a medium wool dobber, and wipe it on from top to bottom, the "grain" comes from leaving streaks with little or dye on the leather.

OK, those sheaths are impressive! I checked out your Facebook link, and the knives are every bit as creative. I really liked the EDT II -- what every kiridashi wants to grow up to be.

Thanks for the kind words Esav!

Bro,

Those sheaths are nice!!! The wood grain effect is great. Aesthetically the "waves" on the sheath ( pic #1) are really nice . I'm really envious of your talent.
