Been meaning to try this for some time, but finally decided to take a stab at it.
Wet-forming my knife sheaths- leather soaked, now I wrap it tight around the knife and clamp it
A few hours later, as the leather dries a bit, it begins to form itself to the knife, as the drying leather shrinks-
Now, that took all of yesterday to dry. Now that it's dried, I begin cutting out the shape of the sheath
And punching the holes for the stitching and belt-loop attachment ..
And dying the leather
And, all stitched-up-
Hangs from the belt with a slight forward cant
And now, Im soaking the leather for the next one-
Lots more to come!
