Members Thadrick Posted March 31, 2024 Author Members Report Posted March 31, 2024 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? Quote
Members Thadrick Posted April 14, 2024 Author Members Report Posted April 14, 2024 Tried a black one. Im not real impressed with it Quote
Members dikman Posted April 15, 2024 Members Report Posted April 15, 2024 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.

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 Quote
