Members azrider Posted July 18, 2009 Author Members Report Posted July 18, 2009 So does anyone think a leather braid or wrap would be worth doing, or just go with some type of rubber or plastic? Quote Drygulch Leatherworks- Baldwin City, Kansas www.drygulchleather.com
Members Dwight Posted July 18, 2009 Members Report Posted July 18, 2009 Az, . . . if you are truly dedicated to doing it in leather, . . . my best suggestion would be to cut a piece of suede the length of the tool handle, . . . wrap it around the tool several times to figure the depth (or thickness) you wanted, . . . cut it at that point. Then, . . . perhaps contact cement the thing to the handle, . . . using your hand held skiving tool to bevel the leading and trailing edges down to nothing. That way the "bump" would be minimized. I personally find that the shrink tubing and/or the rubber hose are both quick fixes, inexpensive to replace, and work very well. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com
