i saw a post on some forum or other showing a nice leather handle that someone had put on their staff and i liked the look of it, so.........

i'll re-sew it at some point with some linen thread, it's done with some nylon stuff at the moment purely because i've got loads of it and it's not bad to work with. linen will look more natural and a lot nicer i think.

anyway, thanks for looking

cheers

I like the dark look of that stitching.

Did you do that today? :yikes:

I was knackered when I got home:lmao:

i'll probably swap it for black linen cos i like the contrast too, i just don't like the shiny plasticky look that nylons got, gonna do the same with my possibles pouch (pictures in another thread in a minute) when i re-do that.

no i didn't do that today, the only thing that would've prevented me from sewing myself to it would be the fact that tired as i am i'd most definately have cut fingers instead of leather.

cheers

Very cool I like the dark look against it myself but like y said a bit to shiny other wise it works.
