BOOMSTICKHolsters Report post 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.

Randyc Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOOMSTICKHolsters Report post 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.
