It took me long enough, lots of procrastination when it comes to making sheaths. But this one is finished and on the way to its new owner tomorrow.

Thanks guys! After posting the pictures I thought the retention strap didn't blend in well. It looked good to me but the picture proved different. I went back and did some more work.

It looks like black palm to me or at least like the blocks of black palm I have

Yes. It’s one of my favorite woods to use.

It looks very nice...of course my vision is still blurry Lol. Just kidding, that is great work I really like Wenge too, if you have not, you should try some black palm wood too it is great and does not need as much sanding sealer as Wenge.

I've got some black palm that I'm saving for just the right knife!
Thanks Chris!
