ShortBBL Report post Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Pretty cool. How well did it form? Thanks! The holster is made of two layers of 7-8oz and the top layer has the beaver tail glued to it. Beaver tail is real thin, I'm thinking 2 oz maybe? The finish is not on in that pic... but, I use neatsfoot oil on all my holsters and then also apply a finish coat of Skidmore's beeswax/oil mix. It makes for a real nice, non-glossy finish. Edited to say: As for forming.... I really tried to only get the back side wet, so that formed great (its not covered with tail) and the front just formed a little. For my pocket holsters, I prefer to form one side only... the inside, so the front of the holster might not look/print like a gun.
