Small Poll axes & sheaths

                                                

Just in time for Christmas! Three small ax sets. The small axes are hand forged from medium carbon steel with a slight hammered finish, the head size is about 4" long and has a 2" in cutting edge. Handle is 12 1/2" long, and are Curly Maple,the handle has a curved bulbous end and finger grooves for a good grip. The leather shoulder sheath is made from 4 oz veg tanned leather and dyed a dark brown, the leather carry strap is 3/4" wide and is adjustable with a forged buckle and will be added to the other two sets.  

New Bag #5

This is a new double bag that I just finished up for Mr. Sam Hall, Sam also sent along a small bag knife that he wanted attached to the back of the bag. The bag is made from 3oz. veg. tanned leather, hand sewn using waxed linen thread. The bag is dyed a dark brown. The bag size is 6" deep x 6" wide the back half of the bag has a 1 1/4' gusset while the front half of the bag has only a welted seam. 

Belt Knife & Sheath

 I made this sheath for a gentlemen who wanted to wear it tuck in to his sash and also having a way to keep it secure. So I added a 4" long tab to the sheath and added a braided piece of hemp to the bottom of the tab so it can be tied in place. The top of the sheath has been wrapped with some hemp line to help keep the handle a little more secure also    

New Belt Bags

The first one is made for a member from Wulff's Co. The bag is made from 3oz. veg. tanned leather, hand sewn with linen thread, dyed a dark brown and treated with oil and bee's wax. The flap has some tooling done to it. The bag size is 5" deep by 6" wide with a 1 1/4" gusset, the back of the bag has two belt loops attach to fit up to a 2 1/2" belt.

The second bag is made the same as the first but, has no gusset added just a welted seam.

Shot Dispenser

With the hunting season now upon us you may need something to carry a small amount or a larger amount of shot in the field with you. We have it covered with a small pocket size shot pouch that can fit in your shirt pocket or inside your hunting bag, or a little larger shot flask. Also for a day at the trap range or a long day in the field there is the shot snake. All are hand made and sewn.

New Display board

I just finished up this display board for this weekend at the trade fair at Schoenburnn Village.

Two more Knife sheaths

Jim Moore liked the first sheath that I made for his trade knife well enough, to send me two more of his trade knives to make sheaths for. 

 

 

The sheaths are made using 4-5oz veg tanned leather, sewn with a heavy waxed linen thread.

 They both are dyed a dark brow and hand rubbed with oil & bee's wax. The both have a 2" belt loop attached to the back as requested by Jim.

Jim wasn't able to post his comment so he sent me an E-mail with his comment for me to post:

"Your a true craftsman at your trade of leather working. The workmanship is excellent.. You made what I asked for. The sheaths will hold up and last for many years to come." Thank You,
Jim Moore
