Just wanted to put pics up of my buttstock shell holder. I wet formed and stiched the shell loops. Didnt do anything to the edge. The tooling is of a bear skull. let me know what you think.

Nice!

In what order do you do the shell loops?

Stitch first, then wet, push in shells and let dry?

Actually this was my first one. Since I had no idea what the spacing was going to be I did it like this. 1. wet the leather. 2 stitched the first line. 3. formed around the bullet then stiched the line on the other side. I made reference lines so it stayed straight. Probably wasn't the best way but it worked. Im doing another one for a friend and I used this one as a template. Since he uses the same calibre rifle. Im also going to use rivets. And do a liner. Hopefully it works out.
