Decided to try my hand at making a Beaver tail knife sheath. It turned out pretty god i'd say! I just took a knife sheath, traced it on both sides on two tails, cut them out, then sewed them together with an easy whip stitch

Good Job! It can be very rewarding to make personal trophies out of pieces/parts from something we usually don't consider of value, Keep creating!


plan your work, work your plan, your plan WILL work.

Pretty cool Josh. Bark tanning works well but takes time. Also look up 'welt'. It is basically a thin slice of thick(er) leather stitched into the seam that the cutting edge will contact to add strength but most importantly to prevent the blade from slicing the stitches.
You may find something on interest this site. Look at the "leather hides and tanning" page. There are some very talented craftsmen out there. http://paleoplanet.net

Looks very mountainmanish.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Nice idea ........ but the stitching, Google saddle stitch, undo the stitching you put in there and try it. It will make it look so much better with an evenly spaced bit of sewing.
