Tack Sheath for Uncle Russ
« on: July 23, 2020, 01:03:15 PM »
Sheath I made for Uncle Russ and his monster bowie knife, inner liner of 8 oz bark tanned mule hide with 8 oz bark tanned cow, short dome tacks and buckskin fringe

I always figured Uncle Russ for the "Bear of the Woods" and he's got the Bowie knife & sheath to prove it! Why he ought'a be able to wrestle any bear into table meat with that setup!

Very Nice!!!  :toast :hairy :shake

Ray, do a search for Shipwreck beads in Lacey or Olympia WA. there a major wharehouse and supplier to bead shops and sell to the public, sell by the pound.
