Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted March 9, 2008 Members Report Posted March 9, 2008 I don't get that many orders for the pancake style holsters in exotic leathers, so I thought I would share this set. This Shark skin on Horsehide holster with hidden loops and a matching mag holder was ordered for a Colt Commander. I am really starting to enjoy making the exotic holsters, as everything is usually a little different for every order. It's interesting how each one has it's own unique characteristics, depending on what the customer's preferences. Comments or critiques are always welcome. Thanks for looking. Quote

Randyc Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Jeff As usual you have outdone yourself again. Great work! BTW, I've made a couple of holsters from shark skin. I've really had trouble laying out my stitch lines because of all the bumps. How did you do it? Randy Quote
Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted March 10, 2008 Author Members Report Posted March 10, 2008 BTW, I've made a couple of holsters from shark skin. I've really had trouble laying out my stitch lines because of all the bumps. How did you do it? Go get a bottle of rubbing alcohol and mix it 50/50 with water. Brush that across the surface you are marking and use a bone folder or something with a fine but blunt point to mark your lines. You may have to go over them more than once to get them to show up well. (Whoops! There goes another "trade secret" ) Thanks everyone for the kind words. Quote
Grunt Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Great work! I really dig the sharkskin. Nick Quote
Members usmc0341 Posted March 11, 2008 Members Report Posted March 11, 2008 when my holsters start looking like yours I will feel like a success!!!! Quote
Members Tangent Creations Posted March 11, 2008 Members Report Posted March 11, 2008 How cool! I love working with sharkskin but have never seen something like these before (then again, I've never made a holster!) I love the work! They look great! And thanks for the tip! Quote
Members chocolateducttape Posted March 11, 2008 Members Report Posted March 11, 2008 Those are really cool! I like 'em. Quote
Members Srigs Posted March 12, 2008 Members Report Posted March 12, 2008 Very nice 1911 rig you made there. Eventually I will get into exoctics but for now just leather holsters for me. Quote
