In the thread below, the thread authoe has re-done his Windlass scabbard. It has been re-finished to a nice brown color. Any of you know how to do this ? thanks, James

Thanks guys! The scabbard was just something I experimented with to see if I could make it look a little different from the standard black. I just took some acetone, rubbed off the black dye, (you probably want to do this in a well ventilated area) then re-dyed it with brown shoe polish and finished it with some dubben leather polish. As for the grip, well there's still something funny about it. I used chamois, and it's still somewhat soft. Is there anything I can use to stiffen it up? Like carnuba wax or leather finishing cream? Because if you hold onto it for any length of time, the dye comes off on your hands. I'm going to have to do a little more work on it. Anyhow, thanks for the kind remarks. I'm sure my next one will look even better. It says this is pretty much what he did... Mainly just rubbing of the the black from the scabbard.
