Sirc Report post Posted February 1 First time wet molding to make a holster for some pruning shears. I used Fiebing's Oxblood Leather Dye and Pure neatsfoot oil along with EcoFlo top finish to give it a nice protective layer plus a nice shine to it.

DieselTech Report post Posted February 1 That looks great. Nice work! Thanks for sharing your dye used. I think I just found a new favorite color dye. Outstanding work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexOstacchini Report post Posted February 1 Super neat. Looks like you've managed to get a lot of depth in that front piece, did you make a former or mould directly around the shears? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarshalWill Report post Posted February 2 That's first class. For my pruning shears I just used a test holster I made out of some belly scrap. Yours is fine workmanship. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewWR Report post Posted February 2 Nice work on the molding. Maybe nice with a matching leather wrap to replace the red plastic sleeving? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately I don't know what a former is, but yes I made a mold directly around the shears. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted February 13 A 'former' is simply something in the shape of what you want to mould around instead of using the actual item. In this case, a wood block made to the shape of the shears Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
