Love it! I restore old axes and make sheaths for them, while they are nice, I keep them a bit on the rough side. I found an old leather drive belt at a thrift store and have been using it for my projects. The aged leather looks incredible when finished. I hit it with fresh black dye and black shoe polish and rub the hell out of it.

Wow, gorgeous work, and a very fun video to watch. Love the little mistakes left here and there. I do wonder though, for the handle guard, if you choke up on the axe to do some fine work, the stiches will be in your palm, might be more comfortable with the stiching to the front. Look forward to the next one!
