Members Bawarrior Posted April 2, 2023 Members Report Posted April 2, 2023 10 oz leather, briar brown stain, and briar brown gel antique for leaves. Funny that my photo was turned a 90, but it is the same holster Quote
Members Bert03241 Posted April 2, 2023 Members Report Posted April 2, 2023 I really like the Holster but if I may? I hate rivets, They can scratch the gun and they can pop out. Sewing the belt loop is much better IMHO. Quote
Members Bawarrior Posted April 2, 2023 Author Members Report Posted April 2, 2023 Bert good point, they possible could scratch but never pop out. thanks. I would welcome other peoples thoughts Quote
Members YinTx Posted April 2, 2023 Members Report Posted April 2, 2023 Agree on not wanting the rivets to make any contact with the gun. A lining might help there. Having the flat side as you do facing the gun helps, but not 100%. I do knife sheaths like this and it seems to work ok there, but most knives are not as expensive. Sometimes I just stitch. Would not expect a rivet of that nature to ever pop out when set well, and they look set well. I really like the way the leaves fade into the back without a border. Cool holster! Quote
Members Littlef Posted April 2, 2023 Members Report Posted April 2, 2023 Love it! I want to attempt a leaf carving on a future holster. (when I build up some skills, ...and my nerve to do it.) May I ask what backgrounder you used? was that a round backgrounder? Quote

Contributing Member fredk Posted April 3, 2023 Contributing Member Report Posted April 3, 2023 Nice tooling on the holster. I agree, its a nice effect with those leaves coming right out of the main back leather Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted April 3, 2023 CFM Report Posted April 3, 2023 awesome work as always friend, if you do use rivets cover them with some very thin leather or line the holster. i cut out light leather with a 1" punch then glue them over the rivet or snap and fold under the edges so the set will hold it. i wouldn't use double caps but those you used should work fine.

Members doubleh Posted April 4, 2023 Members Report Posted April 4, 2023 Nice work. Another "no" to rivets on holsters and knife sheaths. I line any holster I make but it's all stitched. Quote
