Glock 21 45 auto/ snapping turtle holster

[Garyak]

Made this holster with turtle tail. Had to do quite a bit of fleshing to get maximum use from it. 6 sq inches of useable leather is hard to stretch. A 1” belt sander w/120 grit and a feel for what you’re doing and you can make use of the rock hard 1/2” thick outer edges. Turtle puts off more dust than any other leather I’ve used so it’s best done outside. It takes more work than other exotics, but it’s definitely an attention getter. Sewing it together was easy peazy on the 29k except in one area where I could’ve skived it thinner, but the China patcher handled that like it should’ve. Customer loves it and that’s all that matters. Be great to make a costume out of,  And what I’ve been told they’re tasty too. I dunno about that, but I’ll eat anything with gravy…

Really impressive.  I guess snapping turtles are useful after all.

That holster rocks! But the question I have is where in this world does one find a turtle tail for making a wallet?????

[Frodo]

Now we are going to see some fine leather work

Garyak,  Have you any pictures of knife Sheaths?

I don't know for sure but I would assume on the south end of a north bound turtle.   Sorry, just kidding.

Sorry for the sarcasm.  I did find this, though.

A holster definitely for open carry excitement.  Would hate to conceal something so beautiful.  Nice work
