How did you finish the seam? What method/tools did you use for the tooling? Inquiring minds are dying to know. :)

JamesB did the tooling, he used a stylus to impress the surface of the leather.
For seams you have two options as outlined here in Knives and Scabbards from the Museum of London Series:
We did the flesh/grain stitches on this one (it's certainly easier to do):
Sir William:
I'd be in for a dagger sheath, Sir Ian- love how yours came out. I like the rondels as well, unlike the usual circular ones you see on much of what's available online.
Sir Humphrey:
Excellent work, as always. How did you do the embossing? Also, how will it be suspended?

The embossing was done by impressing the leather with a stylus while the leather was still cased. I will eventually add a leather or cord thong to hang it over the plaque belt.
Sir James A:
Cased? Like this?
