EBM, I notice your stamp reads Huntsville. That isn't from a class while you were in Huntsville was it? Great work both plain and fancy.

Re: Knife leather
No not from a class. I do get that a lot though. When people see Huntsville, we are known for our prisons . I've seen some amazing leather work come out of the craft departments. But I've never worked for or been in TDCJdoglegg wrote:EBM, I notice your stamp reads Huntsville. That isn't from a class while you were in Huntsville was it? Great work both plain and fancy.
I'm self taught. Never took any classes. Lot of practice and trail and error.

Re: Knife leather
Made a dozen of these for a buddy of mine so everyone at the ranch could have one. Holds a 4-1/8" trapper (case 54 pat) is what they all use

Re: Knife leather
VERY nice work!
I had a friend that was self taught too. He made leather work look easy. I figured...."Man, I can do this..." Boy was I wrong.
I salute your talent sir!

Re: Knife leather
Eye Brand man your top sheath is like the famous Marble's Coquina sheath..
it also held 2 knives and a sharpening steel, only made from 1902-06
I got Michigan Leathersmith Jack Mosher to sell me one of only 6 or so he made,
mine is made of Horse Hide, tooled with the old Marble's Cattails on it

That's very nice stagman I loosely based mine on it. I seen one in an old magazine about Buffalo hunters and I patterned mine by eye of it.stagman wrote:Eye Brand man your top sheath is like the famous Marble's Coquina sheath..
