Members Uncle Dannie Posted January 26, 2012 Members Report Posted January 26, 2012 I have a smooth gunbelt that I wish to do some carving on to match a holster. Can this be done? I don't want to experiment on it and ruin it finding out I can't carve on a finished piece. Quote Uncle Dannie All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy

Hello, I am not an expert and I have not tried this, but I'm pretty sure you won't be able to carve the belt. It probably has a finish on it that will prevent it from casing properly, and that finish may interfere with the burnishing (shading) the tools would normally make. However, if I am wrong hopefully someone here will set us both straight. Bob Quote There are always possibilities....

Members MHolzer Posted January 28, 2012 Members Report Posted January 28, 2012 It's possible to strip the finish with a deglazer, but I honestly have no idea if the leather would still be toolable.
