    I am getting the itch to create again and hopefully inspire a few more people to have a go so I am prepared to make someone a sheath in the same style as the ones in my photos for $50 to cover materials if they are game enough to send me their knife ... and I will do a some photos to illustrate how I do it so maybe others will have a crack at trying something new. There is only one condition - you can have any colour you want as long as its Black (its the only colour dye I have left).

    Any takers..?

    Also if anyone out there has any homemade leather creations please post some photos on this thread and share your thoughts and tips....
    I would be very keen, but the knife I am keen to sheath probably isn’t worthy of your work - sentimental value to me but maybe a bit rough around d the edges for work like yours! If no one else is keen, but I think your stuff deserves better than my huckery old knife!

    Can you throw up a pic?
    The knife I made the antler handle and sheath for was a$30 tard-me knife... hardly anything special by anyone's estimate.

    Handle needs oiled, old carbon thing that’s been reshaped.

    No need to limit yourself to knife sheaths either. After making ammo holder on lever action I did a matching sling...Name:  IMG_20191226_143326.jpg
