BEARDOG

Looks good, I use Resolene over most of my spirit based dyed holsters, it is a clear,flexible acrylic finish...I'm not sure if it would make the KIWI come off??? Thinking shoe dye, I might try shoe a product called sno seal (I have read of other guys using this on holsters) or just do a wax/polish like suggested above. Tandy sells lots of other finish choices as well.

Here is a very nice stitching kit on a good SALE($59) with everything needed for hand stitching, a great how to book, and even shows you how to build a stitching pony too. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/11189-00.aspx?tcd=11M02TEM

I am usually just lurking and learning on here, but thought this needed posted about, good job! I would like to know when you use exotics do you first glue it to a piece of Veg tanned cow? I am thinking for the holster you did, to also get reinforcement but on the mag holder it looks thin like you just used the ostrich? Also how do the exotics burnish? I would like to try some sometime, maybe shark? How does that work out, if you ever used it? As for the thread, I found this huge thread website...http://www.thethread...ylon-thread-277 PS. Love the grip's too!
