I am working on 3 sheaths for a guy up north and he asked for something Canadian in theme like a maple leaf carved into them.
I've finished 2 and the third is still being made but I sent him this pic of the first 2.
I haven't done much carving and I learned on these that the compression of the leather around the edges really affects the absorption of the dye so it's like they are a back lit. Not too bad an effect but not intentional.
I did the larger one first and I think I hit my stride on the second. I think that second is maybe the nicest sheath I've made, well it's my favourite so far.
