Just finished a test beaded knife sheath. Would like any comments or suggestion on what I need to work on to make a better finish product on others I may do in the future.

Thanks guys for the great feed back. I'm not happy with the sewn edge. I have seen some skin sheaths that the edges are sewn very close to the body of the sheath with very little if no skin ripples. Do any of you have suggestion or web sites that may shed some light on how to get a clean edge?
Thanks again

Kinda reminds me of woodworking ... you are going to be your worst critic ....

What I finally came up with for wood working was f*#k criticism .... if they are too critical they probably aren't your friends anyway ....

Plus you gotta think of some warrior sewing something like this in the dark of a long winter's night  ... with precious little light but the fire (and smoke) to help him along ....

So I am thinking that if you made it too perfect, it would not look handmade ... *S*

Bottom line is: does it hold the knife well, and 2.) Can you live with it?

My appologies to anyone I might have offended ... you are free to edit my, uh, word out of it if the feelling is that someone might be offended by it ...

Such language! After twenty + years in the Navy I have never seen such a blatant use of an asterisk...lol

Very nice, Coache. The beadwork colors are really good. Nice work.

BTW, Coache, your sheath is gorgeous!

All that talk about criticsm verses critique was old ghosts coming back ....

But I do believe that if you cannot even get them to critique your work, you have to be doing something pretty good work ... *S*
