Hi- The leather was probably 4 ounce, if I remember correctly. I did wet it and form it to the flask, put some weights on it and let it dry before finishing. I did use double sided carpet tape to keep it in place after that.

Thanks, everyone! The sour face is probably because he knew he was being made into an April Fool... And he's been very unhappy since he learned he's wearing girl gear!

Here's a link from Jazzdude's info: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=16889&st=0&p=109047&hl=+black%20+and%20+silver%20+holster&fromsearch=1entry109047
Nice work on that, ArtS. Pretty, pretty holster!

Hey Ray- Give this (or something similar) a try: http://www.sewthankful.com/CollinsFabricGlueStick.html . It will tack down a zipper and holds it well while sewing.
Just don't ask me what to do after that! I don't have that part figured out yet!

If you are looking for a little more carving room you could try a Mexican Loop style sheath. I haven't done any holsters like that but this is similar to that style:
Here's a link to a LW post with a holster in that style:

If you do a site search for "Mexican Loop" you can see some other styles and applications.
Good luck!
