2 Gun Buscadero

Another nice one Josh. Not a fan of the buscadero either but you did very well on it.

Great job, love the layout and the tooling is so crisp. The color is great could you explain the process you used

Thank you all!

Robert, I am a huge fan of the Carlos border. It looks good and is pretty easy to get done.

Bobby, here is my process on this;

After the tooling is done and it's dry; 1) a decent coat of neatsfoot oil, 2) black Fiebings liquid acrylic antique applied with a scrap of shearling then wiped off with a damp paper towel a few minutes after applying, 3) 50/50 mop & glo and water applied with a scrap of shearling trimmed very short, 4) put the spots on, sew the holster main seams and assemble the belt, 5) fold the holsters through the slots in the belt and the Mexican loops and 6) give everything a nice wipe down with glycerin saddle soap using a scrap of shearling. I let everything dry as best I can between steps usually at least 8 hours although 24 would probably be better. I use liquid glycerin soap (Leather New or something comparable) but a bar works just as good.

Best regards,

Josh

That's simple enough, never used the liquid acrylic antique will have to try it.

Thanks

I like it and the black gets a lot of attention! it's also easy to use and so far seems to be pretty durable. Have a great day Bobby! talk to you later.
