Members rccolt45 Posted March 8, 2013 Members Report Posted March 8, 2013 Hi guys, I am attempting to make a avenger style holster with Elephant trim. The body of the holster will be 7/8 0z. But what weight leather to use to back the elephant skin? The elephant trim will encircle the mouth and sweat shield as well as form the forward belt loop in one piece of elephant skin. I have tried 4/5 0z but thats to thick . Should I go with 3/4 0z or 2/3 0z? thanks guys also any other advie for working with elephant would be great - thanks you in advanced. Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted March 8, 2013 Members Report Posted March 8, 2013 I would use a thin horsehide as a backer so you get good strength but minimal thickness. Quote
Members JJLeatherworks Posted March 8, 2013 Members Report Posted March 8, 2013 depending on the elephant hide thickness would you go above 4oz veg cow or as shooter said horse. Quote
