So, a while ago I got myself a junglegreen scrapivore, and decided I would try to make a wooden sheath.
Here is the process and the result.

Started out with a piece of processed beech wood. It has a green color, not far from the junglegreen knife.

I hollowed out the wood to make room for some strong magnets and the blade

Epoxy to hold the magnets in its place

Glued it together before the sanding started

"Luke, I am your father" Sanding was a bi#*h, and my airways needed protection

Well, I sanded and sanded, and sanded and sanded! And then a good polish to bring out the color of the wood.
Drilled 4 holes for rivets. Those rivets hold the leather loop in its place.

That whole process I forgot to take pictures of, so here is the final result.
The magnets hold the little vore well in its place. Can't shake it out if you wanted to.

Nice work. I was thinking "hardwood handle". But a hardwood sheath is good, too.
