Making A Bark Knife Sheath.

I made this sheath from the bark of the Stringybark Tree which is native to Australia, but you may be able to use the same method with other species of tree bark. After making the bark sheath & covered it in clothing weight leather & beaded the sheath with #7 white French glass beads.
There is no belt loop on this type of sheath, these were made to be secured under the waist belt not to hang from the belt.
