    Recent Leatherwork

    Grip

    Tried a bunch of new stuff on this knife and sheath. Some worked out great and some not so great. The not so great ideas got scrapped, but were a great learning experience.

    First Try at Leather Carving...

    Been teaching myself how to carve and tool leather for the past two days. I think I got the basics on the carving out of the way and have really enjoyed it. I have carved the skull a few times now but this was my first try at the tree. I think it adds a nice touch to a bush knife...
