Now after I wipe it with a dry paper again after the gel dries, I like to burnish the edges with a piece of antler.
That makes them look smooth and a little shiny.

Now that it's all finished, we wipe the whole thing down with Carnauba Cream.
When it dries, wipe and buff with a dry paper towel.
And it's all done and ready to be put to work.
Thanks for reading this thread.

Excellent work, Dale. One of these days you're gonna inspire me to try my hand at leather work.

Man those sheaths are sweet...I really like them.
