I didn't want to dredge the original thread up here , so here's some pics of the SOD sheath that I made after I dyed it. The dye was a bit uneven, but what the heck, it adds character <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I also made up a little sheath for the yardkeeper - actually I made this for a friend of mine who I gave one to. She wanted a natural color, so I just used some Obenauf's heavy duty protector on it.

On the yardkeeper sheath, you can kind of see where the water darkened up the leather (when I was molding it) - not sure how to not cause/hide that effect when you're not dyeing the leather.
