Just finished up these for some very fine custom knives

Don Hanson Folder in a Black veg tan pouch, fully deer skin lined and a brown Lizard inlay, and tooling.

Dave Lisch bowie, Russet veg tan, fully deer skin lined, with Brown Beaver Tail inlay and tooling.

Very nice work Sir. First class all the way. That beaver tail is really neat. Can you buy that or did the customer supply it?
 
:mad: I want to go and fling all my leather working tools in the dam.............. beaut craftsmanship !!!
 
Ship them to me in Vegas, I'll do it for you. (if I can't do anything with them :D) Good looking sheaths too, SheathMaker.

I am down to my last few of 200 I bought from a trapper in British Columbia a few years ago. They were tanned at the big tannery in Edmonton, BC. I have seen them for sale from time to time. Be sure you get tanned and not just stretched and dried.

Magnificent Paul, simply magnificent.

Gadsen, Sheridan Leather Supply carries tanned beaver tails. They are pretty popular in the custom western saddle world to use in making bucking rolls. I have a couple of pairs myself. Besides the cool texture its just darn tough leather too. Its the little knob thing attached to the saddle just in front of my upper thigh.

No Brumby, your tools need to stay right on the bench where you can reach them easily. Also realize that what you see me produce today is the culmination of what amounts now to 60 years of trying and failing and then trying again until I thought I got it right. In fact I learn a little something new nearly every day.
