First try on this type of sheath.

Deer rawhide covered veggie tan with an attempt at beadwork.
Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.

Very nicely done. I really like the beadwork and turtle. I like the whole thing and the sheath and knife pair well together.

Nice.

Looks good Mike. I bet the beadwork is a bit of a challenge.

Thanks Dave and Bruce. The beadwork was and is a bear. I found out that I need to sort the beads because they vary in size, even in the same lot.

Excellent work for your first shot at beadwork.

Very impressive first effort Mike, you done good!If you choose to make a few more of this style,putting the flesh side of the deer rawhide to the outside will give you more texture, variation in color, and a more rustic look to the overall appearance of the sheath.

Thanks SCALPHUNTER and John. I still have a lot to learn. Going to try a lot of different combinations before it's over.
