If you have found the collection of leatherwork videos helpful and would like to send me a small donation there are details on how you can do so as well as info on the videos in the link above! There is also information on there about shops as well as a gallery of my work and other info.

This video has been re-uploaded with some or all of the audio removed to avoid problems with dishonest companies making unfounded copyright claims.

This Old West style clip point bowie with jigged bone handle belongs to me and I made this cowboy/frontier style leather sheath to go with it.

This sheath uses a Sam Browne stud and a 'frog' as was popular on this type of sheath. This allows the sheath to be hung from the belt or the frog can be removed so it can be slipped inside the belt or trousers on its own.

The sheath has a limited edition California state quater featuring John Muir inlaid into it as well as some vintage mockodile. I picked up the quarter on holiday in California in 2005 and I love Yosemite so it's a nice reminder of the park for me.
