Nicely done. I love the color. I made one very similar to that for a co-workers G27. But it was black. Stitching looks good too. Great job.

Looks great - stitch lines look well executed. Also, that color is great. Did you airbrush, dip, or dauber it on?

Thanks for all the feedback. I have learned alot lurking here and looking at the great work posted by everyone.

The color is one that I finally think looks "right". I have been using the dyes full strength, so even "Light Brown" is almost black. My current carry holster is the same pattern, finished with just neatsfoot oil and sunshine, and it has a nice mellow color. For this one I just added some Mahogany dye to a small bottle of oil and wiped on a couple of coats. I'll use it this weekend for an IDPA shoot, see if I get any dye rub off.
