Thanks for the nice comment Allan.
Jazzman,
I just dyed the leather and then finished it with Tan Kote.
Actually on this one I dyed the holster then whip stitched it with a cheap plastic lace so I could fit the gun in it. I then wet the holster fit the gun and after it was dry I cut out the lace. Then I put Tan Kote on it. I did this so the blue would not rub off on my colored lace. After lacing it again with the red and white lace I gave it all another coat of Tan Kote.
