I picked up 5 or 6 sides of veg tanned sienna a while back, would that be a good choice?

I only have black but maybe I can make a two tone black Grey scabbard next?

It looks very good, but one of the problems with black is it tends to hide the tooling details. In my opinion brown shades always look "right" on a holster, and you can use dark antiquing if you want to highlight the tooling.

Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)

Yeah, I didn't dye the carvings, I just used black antiquing on them but it didn't "pop" like I wanted it to. I even lifted the leaves, still didn't pop.

Thanks for the compliments

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.
