Description: This is documentary about the process of how leather knife sheaths are made by the Northmen guild's leather craftsman Stephen. After the oil dye is applied carnauba creme and then beeswax, neatsfoot oil and orange turpentine mixture and polished in. We use Tippman Boss leather stitcher just for making the holes in the leather. Stitching by hand makes better quality stitch. We use thick waxed jewellery 3 cord linen thread and blunt stitching needles. northmen.com facebook.com/northmenguild instagram.com/northmenguild
