Timber Framing Slicks - Yotie - 01-01-2021
Happy New Year all .... thought this was interesting since I’ve never held any timber framing slicks ... some of you may find this cool as well. A gentleman showed up at my leather shop and asked if I could make some leather sheaths/scabbards for a couple of older slicks. Here’s a pic of the nine I did .... and he says there are more. My understanding is he had a fire in his shop, and most the handles burned and were lost. Apparently an Amish woodworker turned new handles.

They certainly look nice and the boots (sheaths) are great. But, don't they need to be retempered, or whatever the term is?

Thanks .... I have no idea about the re-tempering after being in a fire. Maybe depends on how hot they got.
