Title: All beaded up with nowhere to go (# 2 added)
Post by: swp on February 14, 2009, 10:33:00 PM

I made this knife for the knife swap and said I would try to do something cool for a sheath. So I tried my hand at beading and here are the results   (http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r27/sparson_bucket/knife004.jpg)
...the sheath is rawhide with a buckskin cover, the knife is a helle with a deer jaw bone handle.   (http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r27/sparson_bucket/knife002.jpg)
I can tell you this "I ain't no Shell when it comes to beading". But I learned a lot and have a cool plan for my second one.   :)   Whataya think?

Ok I finished up the second one today and man 2 sides take a lot longer than 1. I also switched knives due to fit and design issues. Whatya think?
