Members dickf Posted January 3, 2012 Members Report Posted January 3, 2012 I'm particularly fond of this color combination. It's cordovan brown with black shark - I think it's classy. Anyway, gun is a SA Micro 3", leather is 8 oz WC. All comments/critiques welcome. This one was my first shipped holster of the new year - Happy New Year!

Members Abram Posted January 3, 2012 Members Report Posted January 3, 2012 That is one fine looking rig right there. i see now I need to expand my selection of dyes. Who makes that particular brown if I may ask. Quote
Denster Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 Really nice looking holster. Quick question if you don't mind. What weight is your shark and what weight leather do yo bond it to for your loops? Quote

Members dickf Posted January 4, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks for the nice words, guys. @Abram - It's Angelus dye. They're the only ones I use anymore because of their awesome ability to penetrate deep and be even as can be all on their own. @Denster - The shark is about 3oz and I sand down the leather for the loops from 7-8oz leather.

Members Eaglestroker Posted January 4, 2012 Members Report Posted January 4, 2012 Beautiful work as always! Do you cut the Angelus dyes as much as the Fiebings seem to need? I've been wanting to try a few shades for a little while. Quote
Members dickf Posted January 4, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 4, 2012 Not at all - that cordovan brown is full strength liberally applied with a foam brush. That's the beauty of their dyes. Quote US GUNLEATHER www.usgunleather.com twitter.com/usgunleather facebook.com/USGUNLEATHER
Members malabar Posted January 4, 2012 Members Report Posted January 4, 2012 Not at all - that cordovan brown is full strength liberally applied with a foam brush. That's the beauty of their dyes. That's lovely. And the coloring is so consistent it looks like it came that way from the tannery. Can you explain your procedure for dyeing? many thanks tk Quote
