Ya'll do some good work, I've experimented with leather work here and there, over the years, but now I feel motivated to get back into it. There was a Tandy Leather store up here years ago, but it shut down and I had no place to go buy stuff. Think I'll check on line.

Two leather projects. (I may have posted these before)

Both the holster and sheath were hand stitched (double stitching). Not quite as neat as a machine stitch.
For anyone new to leatherworking, a couple of tips.
Note that both are lined with smooth leather on the inside. If using, say conventional 8 weight or so leather, this would make the holster too thick. So, (as you might see in the holster) you can start with a 6 weight leather and glue a 2 weight lining to the inside. This makes it much easier to bone and work the leather, yet still have adequate strength.
