Sharkskin Rocks!

Just finished this one up tonight. Learned a few things, like I need one for myself!

That's a cool design! Love the shape of the reinforcement piece. Looks sorta "shark-ish". Nicely done!

BRL - that is just plain gorgeous!

Nice work!

If I may, how do mark your stitching holes when working with that type of trim?

Looks good. Check out the fresh-water shark that ostrich market has (they refer to it as smooth shark). I have 5 holsters requested with it - all from the same person... I'm thinking of making a belt for my daughter with it as well. Nothing wrong with a 4-year-old having a $100+ belt, right?

I used a stitching groover and I had planned to just mark them with a 4 prong (and single) diamond punch from Tandy. I thought that the 4 prong punch might make to big of holes for the shark but it actually worked very well. I did the same with some elephant but that was much tougher.

That sounds interesting. Do you have any pictures of the freshwater shark, on a holster maybe?

Here is my latest with shark, an IWB I did for a customer. I want one! This was really really comfortable too.

Awesome holster Scott. If you had trimmed the loops in shark it would have been teetotaly awesome.

Thanks Denster. Yeah, I wish I would have done that too. This was a free upgrade for an LEO. I already had the loops made up and I wanted to ship it ASAP.
