Finally done...

Hi.
Sheath finally done but i?m not pleased with it.The stamped area was dyed brown and the rest black.But when i was making the last tuning on the sheath with supersheene it went almost black.So i think i will dye the hole sheath black.
The blade is from Michael Clerk Usa and the handle is stabilised blackoak the sheath is made off shaftleather.
Some pics.

I like the design,but if I may offer a few tips. Get yourself a swivel knife and cut in a border for your stamping and when approaching the border either on the side or ends tilt the stamp so you don't get overrun.You can also run a second type of border stamp along the border for contrast. Do these few things and I think your work will improve a bunch. your stitching looks good and like I said its a good design. Keep it up. Dave

Good advice from Dave. I love the subtle color difference between the black and dark brown and would not change it at all. It has a great look.
