dbusarow Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Dan, Good point. I edited the photos so they should be a little easier to see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adaman04 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just two layers of leather. It is plenty stiff. Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scott1952 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
