A couple of recently completed sheaths

[nick681]

Below are some pics of a couple of sheaths I completed recently.

Sometimes I like to hand sew, rather than use my machine.

Both sheaths in these pics are made from a double tanned saddle skirting developed for custom saddle makers and finished with Fiebings Aussie Leather Conditioner which contains a large amount of bees wax. I left the edges undyed and simply burnished and sealed them with bees wax.

The top sheath is hand-sewn using 7 cord linen thread. The bottom sheath I sewed using my machine.

Some additional pics

Thanks for looking,


Nick

Nick, my friend, those are two very well executed sheaths! The hand stitching is immaculate but I still lean toward the machine stitch---that's cause I have hand stitched my last item---I hope! Hope to see you at next Blade show. Sandy Morrissey
