A little embaressing

[GunClick Rick]

But i did make this sheath about 3 years ago.Used rawhide covered it in suede,did a saddle stitch,and the belt loop is done from an old belt i wore out that my deceased mother in law got me for xmas one year.Of course all the stuff is store bought and glued on and it helps to have a cousin that owns an upholstry shop Made it in memeory of my mudda in law,she was a good ole gal.

No reason to be embaressed Rick, we all have to start somewhere. Most of my first stuff is taking up space in a landfill somewhere!

Rick,

I think that the maker is his own worst critic most of the time.

The average person seeing it is blown away..... it is only the creator of the project that knows all the pitfalls and goofs in the project ..... *S*

Howdy Rick,
No reason in the world to be embaressed about your knife sheath!!!!!!! I agree with the other pards, it looks great!!! We all start at some point, and if we chose to work harder to get better, some of us do and some don't, some of us don't catch on as fast as others! But I think you are off to a great start!!! And if you want to improve you are at the right place!!! I have been playing with leather for around 2 years or so, and there are a lot of pards on here that started a few months ago that are 10 times better than I am right now!!
I know for fact that I will get better, but how much better, that we will have to see!! One thing I do know is, if I don't try to improve, I won't!!! For me, the main reason to show my stuff, is for those that view it let me know what I need to improve on!!!! The kind words that every one gives is a great thing, but those that give the flowers and advise me what I did right or wrong, is how we all learn!! That is one reason we have the pm system, if someone wants to advise in private we have that option!! My  feeling would be hurt if a pard on here seen something I could do better and didn't let me know how to do it!!
I have had a ton of help, from the pards on here, and my mentor (TW) has went way beyond the call of duty and advise me so much that I keep the fire inside burning to improve!!
Your doing Great!!
Later

that knife sheath sure looks good to me also.

remember one thing about doing leatherworking in the old days, cowboys used what they could find to get the job done.
you followed in the footsteps of the cowboys.

My wife don't give me no money,that's why it look the cowboy way.Whoever thought of carving in leather in the first place.

     That sheath looks good pard, I knew you had talent, now you should just dive in and try the other stuff to, I'm sure Ned will coach you on it, it's a great way to pass the hours, and relax at the same time, we'll be waiting to see something new from you.
