Members evandailey Posted July 22, 2011 Members Report Posted July 22, 2011 Shooter, whose leather are you using? Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted July 22, 2011 Author Members Report Posted July 22, 2011 I generally do all my dye work after the holster has been wet molded and dried in the hot box. I use wool daubers for the most part, however, when there are stitched on panels such as this, I get as close as I can with the dauber then finish with a 3/8 wide flat artists brush. That lets you get in under the edges of the panel some if they are properly rounded and burnished. For the edges I use burlap wrapped around a wood slicker and saturated with the yellow paste saddle soap. After they are nice and smooth I use that same artists brush to apply whatever dye I use on the edges, in this case it was black. This was made with Hermann Oak leather purchased from Springfield Leather. Thanks! Quote Zlogonje Gunleathers
Members woodandsteel Posted July 22, 2011 Members Report Posted July 22, 2011 Very nice! I was just thinking about trying this style the other day. Could you post a picture of the sight channel from the inside? Quote
