Very nice work, I love your scroll work.
Do you sell your sheaths or just offer them with your knives.
Keep it up !!!!

Bruce, kudos on those sheaths, my friend! Well executed carving but a little shy on the little things that state--Professional! It would greatly improve the appearance of the sheaths if they were edged and creased outside the stitch lines. Your background of simulated ray skin is a great touch but all black sheaths and backgrounding loses illustration of the art work that you have created. It is an unneeded and cost factor to carve the back of the sheath.

I know this is an unsolicited critique of your work for which I shall not apologize as it is honest. You show great promise but must realize that there is a multitude of competion out there and unrequired labor that does not show will not help you economically. Sandy

Thanks John and Sandy for your encouraging words.

Yes John, I have recently made some similar sheaths for other knife collectors.

Sandy, thanks for your words of advice, taken on board. I'm currently working on a Bowie, it's a bigger job than I would normally take on, and I'm really looking forward to making the sheath.

Kind regards, Bruce
