I ordered the basic 6 piece stamping set from Jantz so I could do some designs on my sheaths.The problem is that I need some pictures of patterns.I've been looking through the threads but haven't come across anything yet.
Any pictures of your stamped sheaths would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a modest design.

This is a simple basket weave.

These sheaths were oil dyed with light brown dye. They were alot darker than I wanted so I went back and bought saddle tan oil dye for the next one I made. I also bought hi lighter. You wipe it on and it gets into the small patterns and makes them more visible. I don't have a picture of that sheath but it looks better than the one I posted.
Here are a few.

Thanks guys that really helps to give me some ideas.
Look up any of my posts or go to my post in sponsor classifieds and you'll see my sheaths...most of them done with the 7 piece set.
You may also want to go to the tandy/leatherfactory website-they have freebie crafting ideas and have recently added short instructional videos on lacing and stuff.not to mention if you need any other tools,dye ,leather.....
