Re: Tutorial for a scandi sheath
Then i cut a strip of the leather that i am going to make the sheath from. I messure at the same spots as i have selected when i marked the paper. I put the strip around the point that i want to messure, messure the lengtht of the stip, and divide it by two, and adds 3 mm. (for shrinking) I put the mark on the paper. and repeat this for all the points on the paper.

Re: Tutorial for a scandi sheath
Put the leather in warm (40 degrees centigrade) water, the leather is put with the smooth side down in the water, when there is no longer comming bubles from the hide, put the leather in a plastic bag for 2 hours.
I then unfold the paper, and put it on top of the whet leather and cut with a 20 degrees angle along the sides of the paper.

Re: Tutorial for a scandi sheath
Mark a line along the side of the leather, then use a markin wheel to mark where you want to stick the sawing holes.

Re: Tutorial for a scandi sheath
Stick the holes, the holes should come out in the midle of the raw hide, or if you are not using raw hide, the holes shoul come out a litle lower than in the midle of the cut.

Re: Tutorial for a scandi sheath
