I just finished this one. After several hundred stamped, overlayed, inlayed and plain sheaths I had to try carving.I have a long way to go,and I have carved up about all my scrap practising. I would like to thank Sandy my good buddy who helped me get started.This one is going to a charity auction.
You all should try this , as it is alot of fun and it is quite addictive.Back to practise some more.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the nice comments.Jim , you should give it a shot.

Mike, belly up to the bar my friend,Sandy says so and I'm to afraid to go on by myself :D
Besides I want to see Sandy's 12 step program.Probably goes something like beer, cut, beer,stitch, beer, dye,beer ,beer :eek: :eek: :D

Sandy thanks again for your help I will make you proud.

Howdy Dave -
Hmm next thing we know Sandy will have you making holsters and belts and.... :eek: 8o :eek:
And speaking of the "old Man" he may not have created the addiction for me but we definitely share it! :101

ANyway nicely done amigo - No reflection on your leather skills :rolleyes: - but there was a bit too much on the knife and the sheath was a bit dark so I took the liberty of doing some Photoshopping so we could all see this piece better - hope you don't mind:

Thank you Chuck, both for the compliment and the photo fix. I still think we need to work on our other Colorado friend.I harassed him long enough to do an inlay and he did a great job.
Take care,Dave :)
