A neo-Frontier style sheath.....

While waiting on the parts for the next WildGoo combo - I put this sheath together along with some old west gun leather, a period Bowie, and it's sheath (see below)...
I call this a neo-Frontier since the knife is a "modern" style made by Muela albeit a variation on a Bowie (I did age it though per the customer's request.) - on the other hand this style sheath would be not be out of place for the mid-1800's.......






It's deer rawhide over a vegtan liner decorated with a bit of scratching and tacks on the lower part, a few spots on the belt loop, a German Silver concho, some lacing, and fringe on the cuff .......kind of "plain" for me I know , but it makes for a real nice change of pace (it took hours instead of days!)...
It's going bear hunting next month along with the owner's new C Sharps Arms M74 in 45-70.......

I also have to give a nod to Karen Shook - I stitched up the edge seams on this one in a variation of her inimitable style......

Chuck, your stuff looks like it was made in the 1800's. You pull it off perfectly. I'm impressed. I've tried to make 'old' stuff and mine looks like it was made last Tuesday. I can't do what you do.
