Wet forming the sharpening stone pocket.....I think it makes a better and tidier job of it.

Bit of fun along the way Mark....you are welcome

Out of the workshop now and back hame ye ken.

Glued the stackers and will leave overnight to dry.
The Wet Formed Stone pocket will be left overnight too.

Hopefully, start dying and assembly tomorrow if everything dries as it should.

We fly out on Saturday Mark....so I'm not sure if I will finish it beforehand.......going to be tight

The stitching holes will have to be individually drilled because of the thickness of the stacked leather......normally I would use one of my stitching punches much quicker and easier.
A fair bit of sanding and burnishing, edge dying, and treatment will follow on from that.

More pictures to follow

Yes, mate that would look nice on there.

I will keep the steel keeper off of the sheath body a tad to give you room for it

Not happy with the way the wet formed sharpening stone pouch turned out.
So have made another template and gone for a different approach.
Looks much neater now.

Template made and transfered to the leather the cut and soaked/formed.

On the block formed.

This has put me behind Mark.....sorry mate.......but need it right.
