    Thanks! Yes I learned a lot from this one, next version has a much improved grip! The color is the ecoflo Antique Mahogony, I tossed it on rather liberally then did a first wipe with a clean paper towel, then a damp paper towel took the color up in shade to about this final version. The first application of resolene lifted a little bit more color off too. The second coat gave it a nice gloss...so that I am pleased with!

    LOL no worries Monica, the dog won't even look at the first attempts..... I like the look of the Mahaogony, rubbed it down with a damp paper towel after I applied it to lighten it up a good bit, wound up this color. I've got to set up my light tent tomorrow to get a better shot of this and the others....but am growing frustrated with the washing off of the eco flo stuff. Will try mahogany in the Fiebing oil dye and maybe their antique soon...

    Thanks for your feedback! @OdinUK I did decide to keep my first attempts, tho I did think about giving them to the dog as chew toys lol.

    Hi forum members, First I have to say what a great resource this forum has been. I've learned a LOT and just enjoyed reading everything. So here is my first attempt at a finished holster, well actually first attempt I am willing to show anyone lol. The others were more like just hacks and practice at tooling/finishing/etc. I guess this is more like holster number 3, but the first I finished all the way. 8 oz leather, tooled, wet formed to pistol, Eco Flow Mahogany Gel Antique, Resolene finish It is for a Glock 19. I have a couple of tweaks I've added for the next one already, I don't like the pointy part at the top (under the trigger guard) that should have been rounded and I didn't leave enough room for a good combat grip. Plus I gave too much room in length for the 19 slide, about an inch too much so that will get whacked back. But it wears pretty well for just toting the 19 in the woods... Any comments or critique are welcome. I have several more I've started will get a better camera setup going too! Thanks!

    I'm a total noob here, so take this with a grain of salt, but I used the USMC black recently in an experiment mixed with Lexol. First quick coat was raw USMC black just to get full coverage. Second coat was Lexol/USMC mixed well together (about 10 drops Lexol plus 5 drops USMC). Daubered it on right on top of the first coat. Let is soak in for 10-15 min and a quick buff and after the initial buff there is no black coming off, great looking black too.
