…with the sheath for my Tutti Frutti knife 😦  but I have at least prepared the handle for the leatherwork, and also made a model out of paper how to cut out the leather 🙂

…after I dyed it 🙂

perhaps not the best photo, but at least you can see how the handle is shaped 😉

now I’m takeing the weekend of (= grandchildren 😉 ) next week another sheath is going to bee made.

…and this is how it become 🙂

the leather is from a new pice that I’ve bought, just hope that it shrink as I think it will 😉

…on this knife for a while, the woodenliner is now ready and has get a hot linseed bath

now the oil just have to harden, so it will hang in my workshop for at least a week befor I start with the leather work 🙂

showing a photo taken during the process of creating the woodenliner.

…to fill up

I didn’t expect this 😦

just means that I have to make an adjustment 😉

that’s right, another hole 🙂

and fill it up 🙂

…to form the handle 🙂

and after the filing and 600 grit, it looks like this 🙂

…with a hole in its back 😉

soon it’s time to start working with my files 🙂

humm…it reminds me of a rag-mat,  and it also bring back memoris over knife I’ve done 🙂

…in dyed elk horn, and glue the blade into the right position 🙂

and here is some of the pieces that hopefully will become a handle in the end 😉

…my workshop failed when I looked into this box 🙂

so many wonderful small pieces of stabilized wood, just got to do something with them,

why not a new knife 😉

…is now ready for the linseed oil 🙂

just wonder what to do while I’m waiting for it to get dry? perhaps cleaning up my workshop 😉
