First Work With Exotics

[Denster]

I just recently started using exotics. Here are a couple of mag pouches for the P7-M8 for a customer who wanted full frontal coverage with elephant. He specified a shield with the double pouch and none with the single. Tell me what you think.

Those are awesome! That is a nice grain on that elephant too. your stitching is nice and close to the edge.

What weight leather did you use underneath?

Thank you for the kind words. The backs are 7/8OZ HO and the front that the Elephant is bonded to is 5/6. With the stitching I used the right toe of my presser foot as a guage and freehanded it. I used a freehand groover for the straight lines but I found out that trying to use an adjustable groover on the perifery was an excercise in futility.

The elephant is some I got from Kevin at Springfield Leather.

Those look really nice. I like the texture of the elephant.
