Members Garyak Posted July 13, 2022 Members Report Posted July 13, 2022 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… Quote

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 13, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted July 13, 2022 I like the look, just wondering if that wont catch a shirt purdy often Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

Doc Reaper Posted July 14, 2022 Report Posted July 14, 2022 That holster rocks! But the question I have is where in this world does one find a turtle tail for making a wallet????? Quote Doc Reaper
