    Gothca! The arch at the top with the edge bead is a nice detail.

    Do you cut your shape and punch your stitch holes before or after you've molded the sheath?

    The first one I did, I molded it then punched the holes and stitched it, then shaped the sheath.

    I sew the whole thing together first
    soak it for an hour
    then insert the knife,mold and let it dry
    I dye the sheath after it dries

    If I use a concho I dye before I sew
    so I can get dye under the concho
