Looks like you've got that light box fine tuned now and the sheath work is looking good.

See those grooves you have cut in the straps? If you run a groove like that along the track where your stitches lay it can smooth out the look of the stitching. That weird looking tool with the L shaped piece at the tip shown in the last pic I put in the Chat Room photo thread is the one that does that job ...

Thanks Ray. I cut grooves for both stitch lines. Perhaps I need to cut it double deep? I have tried to groove it before drilling holes and then hit it again after but that makes a mess and clogs the groover. So maybe just cutting them deeper to start with is necessary. I have another knife the same style and I will repeat this same sheath with a few tweaks. I'll post it later today probably. I'm mainly just tinkering with leather till Friday when my new grinder gets here. Then I have an order for an Alamo style bowie. That should be interesting.
