My first sheath

Hey everyone, I have some pics of this posted in the knife making threads but I figured I would share it here as well. It's my first attempt at leather work. I used veg tanned shoulder. I dyed it dark brown and "antiqued" it by sanding off the high spots just slightly to lighten them up with 800 grit paper. I finished the leather with a carnuba wax leather finish. I still want the lock strap a little softer but I'm not sure what I should use to do that. Let me know what you think.
