Members BHPshooter Posted October 26, 2014 Members Report Posted October 26, 2014 I finally got around to remaking the holster that didn't turn out very well (In this thread: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=57836 ). Previously, I used Angelus 505 Black for the trim, and Fiebing's Pro Oil Saddle Tan for the body of the holster. This time, I used Angelus Jet Black for the trim, and Angelus Tan for the body. It isn't perfect -- the two-tone thing is still a new process for me, but it did turn out much better this time. It appears that Fiebing's Saddle Tan was the problem, for whatever reason. Question, for those that use Angelus dyes: do you find that pieces dyed black don't accept water very well? I have noticed this with both Jet Black and 505 Black. Pieces I've dyed Tan, Russet Brown, and Cordovan take water just fine. Quote

Members Double Daddy Posted October 27, 2014 Members Report Posted October 27, 2014 Great Job, BHP! And a very nice Hi-Power as well...from what we can see Quote
Members muzzleblast Posted November 6, 2014 Members Report Posted November 6, 2014 Beautiful in design and execution. Your stitching is making me want to take a trip to Yokum, TX and visit with the Campbell Randall folks. Quote
