Title: Neck knife sheaths (finished pic added)
Post by: ksnow on April 04, 2018, 06:34:35 am

Hi all,
I've been working on a few neck knife sheaths recently. The plain one will be given away as a shooting prize at a local rendezvous. The other will be a gift for my sister on the West coast.
Both are buckskin over veg tan leather. The plain one is chrome tan with 10/o beads. The fancier one is braintan with 11/0 beads.

BowEd, they are both over vegetable tanned leather. Pieces left from making shooting bags.

Thanks for all the kind words guys.
Pappy, even though they are pretty dressed up, they are meant to be used. I'd hate to see them just sit around.
