First Holster- Please Critique

Recommended Posts

Almost finished with my first holster. Just have to burnish the edges but waiting on my burnisher to get here. How did I do?

There was something, I stared at it for a while and I think I got it figgered out.

It's the basketweave. I like to overlap my stamping.

I feel it helps to tighten up the pattern a little.

I'm lookin' forward to seein' the holster finished.

Thanks for the tip. I was trying to connect the ends, but overlapping them makes it soooo much nicer. I have enough leather for another holster and will definitely do that the next time.

BTW I have seen a lot your work on another forum and think you do great work. Someday I hope to get that good.

Lookin' forward to seein' it.

There's so much leatherworking talent here and on other forums, I'm just trying my best to get somewhere in the same neighborhood of being in their league. Since I can't do the fancy carvin', I pay extra attention the little details.
