1. Tandy (and probably Amazon) sells a book titled, "The Art of Hand Sewing Leather" by Al Stohlman. It is the VERY best reference you will ever find for getting started. You will never regret buying this book.

2. For making sheaths, look for the DVD "Custom Knife Sheaths with Chuck Burrows" Chuck was a friend of mine who passed away long before his time. Any newby can follow the DVD, and even seasoned leatherworkers find things in there that they didn't know. Also, "Leather Tips from a Master" by Paul Long. Another superstar in sheathmaking, these DVDs are worth every penny.

3. Go to Leatherworker.net. There's good sheath stuff on here, but that is an EXCELLENT forum for ALL kinds of leatherworking and it's a great place to ask questions.
