Leather sheath Final

Wet forming the front part of the sheath
Measuring the backing piece of the sheath
Gluing both parts of the sheath together before stitching, helps hold both parts steady for drilling of holes


This is my second leather sheath, I think it turned out 10 time better than the first. Thank goodness I did a test sheath, was really a good learning time. I got a feel for moulding leather, like when it was a good moisture level to mould 90 degree sides and to do minor tooling. I preferred a natural finish for now, so I applied some dubbin. I will get some light brown leather dye at some point.
