Zwack Report post Posted November 21, 2009 Greetings, Here are the first two holsters that I created for my stepdaughter. They're for a cigarette lighter of all things. Unfortunately the carving of the rose doesn't show up too well in the photo (they were carved and then painted). Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Hi and welcome to Leatherworker.net!You've already started off right by including pics in your first post, so it only gets better from here. I saw a little 'rough edge' along the top of the holsters- kinda looks like you used a razor knife to cut a curve.....don't worry about it, we've all done it. The way to give it a more finished look is to take a sanding block or such (I use a Stanley Sure-form) and gently round it. After that, run and edger and dress/finish the edges. Here's a thread on edges: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=18101. As you read through the forums, take a look at the topmost threads- usually there are some that are pinned, and they contain superb info.
