Big Bowie Sheath Finished

[opaul]

Just finished this sheath up. Lots of frustrations but continuing to learn a lot! The inset is stingray skin. Feedback always appreciated.

As usual your leather work really shines! A perfect complement to the great knives you make.

Thanks John. I didn't put a retention strap on this one. I guess it's not to late to do one with a different type style. But this is a big long knife and I don't think it's going to 'jump' out of the sheath.

Thanks KenH. Leather work is not my favorite but since I want to make the sheaths for my knives I'm trying to improve and really work on the quality but still have a loooong way to go. But, I do find myself enjoying making them a little bit at the time .
