Members dbusarow Posted March 10, 2009 Members Report Posted March 10, 2009 Scott, Good looking rigs from what I can see. But you need to put up some bigger photos for a critique. These photos are too small to see any detail. Dan Quote

Members adaman04 Posted March 11, 2009 Members Report Posted March 11, 2009 Wow, very nice. I really like the coffee dyed one. Did you add kydex or anything to reinforce the mouth or is it just double leather? Again, very nice. Quote

Scott1952 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) No problems w/the finish adhering to that is there? So far it has been fine. After assembly I oil with Virgin Olive Oil, and let sit, then I applied the Leather Sheen. After this I polished with a mixture of Beeswax and olive oil, this is a mixture I made that is somewhat like shoe polish, works great. Scott Forgot to mention, I clean between each step with a wipe down of Acetone. Edited March 11, 2009 by Scott1952 Quote
Members JRB Posted March 11, 2009 Members Report Posted March 11, 2009 I think I will give this a try some time after a morning brew! Quote
