Shorts Report post Posted June 23, 2009 Just curious if I undertook a project of a leather cheek pad and shell holder what weight leather should i use? It'd be a lace-up gizmo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1Man Report post Posted June 23, 2009 Hi, I used 7/8 and lined it with some tooling kip from Tandy's. I used brass rivets to hold down the bullet loops (2/3 tooling kip) and brass eyelits so I lined it so the brass didnt' touch the wood. I think it turned out pretty nice.

TwinOaks Report post Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) I made one out of 3-4oz, and laced in the butt. It's a work in progress, as I intend to install a padded comb pad, a couple of shell holders, and a nice little pouch on the side of the stock for ear plugs. I would like to suggest being sure to use grommets or eyelets. It's easy to put a lot more pressure on the lacing holes than intended.
