wooden knife sheath- wip
stuckinthemud:
Had a pretty awful glueline, don't know why so I soaked the thing apart, cleaned everything up, checked for a tight fit, all looking really good, glued it together, glue line still nearly as bad. Had to glue in some splines. Cannot work out what's going on unless the one side warped as the stress came out when I split the timber. Cost me 10 days to soak it, dry it, glue it and spline it. Back on track, carving nearly done. Maybe two or three hours before sealing and painting.
BowEd:
Very nice stuckinthemud.I like it.
Would a sinew wrap at the top make it any stouter?
stuckinthemud:
There is a channel let in for a wrap of some sort, sinew would work really well and is not something I had thought to use until you mentioned it. I was toying with a fancy linen plait of some sort
bownarra:
Lovely work :)

Really beautiful. Those leaves give a really good 3d effect. T
