A couple holster, exotic leather inlay knife sheath and my first phone case

[DoubleKCustomLeathercraft]

I finished my customer's order with the moose carved holsterthat I posted about a week ago. I ended up having to make the elk holster a second time because I forgot to adjust my pattern for the suede lining. I figured it out right away, and the entire time I was making it i thought something was off. 

The phone case was my first that I've been commissioned to make. My customer was absolutely ecstatic about it. Mainly I think he was more excited about the grizzly. 

The knife sheath is for a little damascus pattern skinner. We decided to go with the snapping turtle leather inlay because it's such a small window to carve on. I still have some of the leg leather left from a couple of tail inputs inlaid orders. 

Elk holster- Ruger P85

Moose holster- SCCY CPX2

Grizzly- Galaxy S+ series/size phone

Snapping turtle inlay- unknown knife maker,  small skinner

Nice work. They all look great. 

Did you do a gusset on your phone case around the sides & bottom. 

Thanks.

Thank you.

I used 4/5oz Water Buffalo along the sides. The water Buffalo will show for some stretch if necessary. I really like working with that leather. Extremely durable while being soft to the touch.  The body is one piece of leather. I skived the bottom where it folds to make it easier to form since I did use a 9/10 oz veg tan. I also skived the cover flap with a slight taper from the fold to the tip. I'm very well practiced with my skife since I primarily work with heavy leather. I also took a small "finger" plane and set it up in a way that I can take any imperfections from skiving and flatten them out. Something i haven't seen anyone do, but it does work with some adjustments to the blade angle.
