I made this one from cocobolo, it's 5" long by 1" wide.

Since I asked I better post a pic.

I use the handles of the edge beveler & stitching wheel. Also use my hands.

What is the gold color rod next to the ruler?

knitting needle i think, maybe?

It's a crochet needle. I use them, too - great for making a straight line with a ruler.

This is my favorite, a variety of antlers in various shapes and sizes.Dave

I just use whatever smooth, rounded item is close at hand. Like JRB, I seem to end up using the handles of my edgers and stitching wheels a lot.

Same here. I also really like 1/4 drive deep well Craftsman sockets, chrome plated of course.

I've only made one holster, but these Corian tools I made seemed to work fine.

Here is my favorite. Made from a cheap paint brush.

Here is my favorite, my son Riley made it for me. He has made several of these and some of the members here have them. They are made out of Osage Orange, aka Hedge.

You folks teach me something every day I sign in here! Some things in my life seem to get over complicated, because I make it that way...I need to go with the flow more! Thanks
