bladegrinder Report post Posted September 14, 2022 I normally make knife sheaths but I want to start making holsters too now, so I made this for my Ruger Vaquero .45 with a 7.5" barrel. I need to work on my carving and beveling but this is the first one I ever made and I think it came out OK. Thanks for looking, so here's the Ruger... And here's the holster...

dikman Report post Posted September 15, 2022 Looks very good for a first attempt. Of course, you do realise you're supposed to give details on colour and finish too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bladegrinder Report post Posted September 16, 2022 Here's the close up pic taken with a real camera, you can see where I need improvement. I dyed the leather with Fiebings light brown dye diluted 5 to 1 with Fiebing's dye reducer. after it dried I applied two coats of Fiebing's tan coat.

Burkhardt Report post Posted September 16, 2022 I think it looks pretty darned good. If that's your first I'm gonna have to practice a lot more to say my first looks that good. Is it me or does it look like it has a reddish tint to it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hags Report post Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) My wife tells me I can see my mistakes because I look at things from 6 inches. It looks a lot different from a couple of feet. You will always see something that you could do better. Nice job! Edited September 16, 2022 by Hags Spelling and content Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
