Hello...I'm using 5/6 oz leather which when folded comes out to be 4mm thick. I hand sew everything.

Thank you Dwight. I read somewhere that Saddle soap followed by mink oil is used to shine up oil tanned leather. Any experience with that? Why type of leather do you like to use for the holsters?

Pretty cool

Hello everyone. I'm a new forum member and also new to leather working. I recently started building watch straps and it has become a real passion. I would li,e to find out more techniques on finishing my work. I'm currently using oil tanned leathers and I'm very comfortable with them however, I'm sort of stuck with the plain flat finish. Is here anything I can do to make them shine up to a semi gloss. Here's is an example of where I'm at. I would like to be more like this. Should I be using different leather? Thank you all
