Outstanding leather work, attractive sheaths and look durable and long lasting too.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Very nice dwardo. Looks like some good heavy duty leather.
rich

Agree. Looks like a long-laster. Keep it conditioned well and I believe that will last a couple of generations.
Heavy-duty work. dang god job.

My little hatchet was in need of a new getup for a trip out a few weeks back. Dont usually take the hatchet as its a little small but I had a bunch of other tools to carry so the smaller weight was welcome.
It fits on the belt and the axe drops in from the top. This stops me putting the sheath down and losing it,.,,again..

nice leatherwork dwardo, nice edge skiving,
 and great harness stitching. use two blunt needles?
what do you use to wax and seal the edges? really looks great
when i'm working on things my ancestors worked, singing the songs my ancestors sang, dancing the same dances, speaking the same language, only then  I feel connected to the land, THIS land, where my ancestors walked for thousands of years...

Yes mate, just saddle stitched, funny how over a big pond all the terms change :)
The thicker welts are sanded flat then I dye and finish with carnuba edge cream. Then a coat of clear wax over it all. I just use dubbin.
