Ruger Mk II Tactical with silencer

[Hags]

I have made several holsters for this young man. This is his "grouse gun". He carries it elk hunting. Ruger Mk II Tactical with a Vortex holo and a Silencerco Sparrow silencer. It's kinda long, so the hole in the bottom is for a tie down.

8/9 oz Hermann Oak 

Fiebing pro dye Saddle tan and Dark brown

Resolene

277 top and bottom on a Cobra class 3

Always fun to do something different.

Very nice!

Nice work. Looks great! 

Did the resolene make the leather that glossy? Or did you add another technique to get it to Shine like that?

Thanks.

Thank you, I usually burnish my pieces during wet molding. I use a flat boner to do the edges then go over the whole thing. I really like watching the color come out. The drier it gets, the more the burnishing affects it. The resolene (50/50 with water by the way) just seals it in.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Thanks again for the tip. Gives me something new to try.
