Shooter, whose leather are you using?

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!
