Members Colt Hammerless Posted February 8, 2013 Members Report Posted February 8, 2013 You get a new and better one. I recently finished this one up for my friend. It's a lefty IWB for the H&K P2000sk. It's got 30 degrees of forward rake per his request (I use a lot of rake on my own personal rigs as well.) It's 8 oz. Hermann Oak that was given a long dip dye in full strength Angelus Cordovan. It's very red in the sun, and a nice dark color under indoor lighting. Finish is two good dips in Angelus 600 cut 50/50 with distilled water. This holster is a replacement for one I made him a couple of years ago. He can't find the other one as it's buried in a box in his garage somewhere! He has a better chance of finding the Ark of the Covenant in there. It's all well and good, as that one was one of my earliest pieces, and wasn't all that great. Paul Quote

Members Steve75 Posted February 9, 2013 Members Report Posted February 9, 2013 Nice results. I like the way your dye job turned out. Good job! Quote Steve "No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it." Theodore Roosevelt
Members Colt Hammerless Posted February 10, 2013 Author Members Report Posted February 10, 2013 Thanks everyone. I'm pretty new to dip dyeing, but it seems to be working pretty well. I've been using Hidepounder's method on edges for a while and it works great. Now I just need to be able to do them faster. Paul Quote

Members Chef niloc Posted February 11, 2013 Members Report Posted February 11, 2013 I love it, it's one of the nicest holsters I've seen. Could you post a picture of the backside? It on a belt being worn would be nice to see too. Quote
