BBAYS Report post Posted January 3, 2011 Well folks, here is my first try at a few different holsters. With these attempts probably 3 ended up in the trash. These are the ones I liked. I know Ive got a long way to go but would appreciate any feedback All were made with 8 oz Herman Oak, hand stitched, and finished with super sheen. From top left to right S+W J Frame Pancake, 3" 1911 Avenger Style, 92FS Pancake From bottomeft to right S+W J Frame Pancke, Full Size 1911 Pancake, Full Size 1911 Pancake Style (not sure what to call it but it sure holds the gun tight to your hip.) Thanks for looking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBAYS Report post Posted January 3, 2011 I have built a couple of saddles. Just bought a couple of books and jumped in with both feet. No formal training. These are my first holsters Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haystacker Report post Posted January 4, 2011 Hey good job. Nice lines. For belt slots, I wet the slots and then rub a little glycerine bar saddle soap. Then I burnish the slots with a deer antler. Slicks em up real good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
