A while back I was lloking for someone to make my son a tomahawk. I sent a PM to PennHawk and he is one hard guy to get a hold of. When I did not hear from Penn, I ordered one from a local guy and Penn finally got back to me. I paid for the local and worked a trade with Penn. He sent me my sons hawk and included a knife sheath that he had made for his personal knife. My part of the trade was to do the beadwork for the sheath. He sent a picture of the knife and a color scheme and one design and a bear claw he wanted included in the design. So i jumped in and worked on it at work in the museum. Took me longer than I thought - about 30 hours, i do not really know for sure as I did not keep track of the actual time I worked on it. I finally got the piece finished but would like to seal it as some of the beads concealing the edging are done lazy stitch style. I thought I might spray it with some varnish or something - any ideas. Penn will be using this sheath a lot. It was a good trade and I hope Penn likes the finished result, the tomahawk is beautiful. The end of the story is, my son now has two hawks. He is very happy with both of them.
