Wood works just fine if it's a one off make the mold don't even bother finishing it, if you plan on using it over and over sand to 220 grit and finish with boat varnish three coats , it will last a long time.

Once you give a price that's the price, so be sure you charge enough, have pride in your work or no one else will! "Get every thing it's worth"

JLSleather Thank you for your comments , it sounds heavy but it seams not to be, this holster is three years old the man wears it every day the 2 layer bonded and compressed hold like iron.

In the sun it's a very dark olive. Yes use the finest steel wool you can find, ad a whole ream of it to one gallon white vinegar let it sit for three weeks or so , it is nasty stuff, have fun.

Roon is good but not really black ,this is a gun belt i did in roon it's a lot of time and work to get this stuff made and to work right ,but that's just my opinion .

At my wife's daycare i do a tool class for the 4 year old's . One day i did a class on hammers one of the mothers said to me how many hammers dose a man need, then told me how mad she would be if her husband had more than one hammer.So i showed her the hammers i used for the class around 20 of them with explanations for all of them, she said i never knew that, while looking each one of them over again and again . this was just one story i like to tell if someone brings up hammers . Northmounts explanation is all you should need it's right on .
