Very nice in deed.

Question

I have done 3 simple inlays. As in cut out a portion of the re-enforcement and put it between the two pieces.

Yours look like they are covering the leather on there own?

Hence

1. What kind of exotics are they/?

2. Do they burnish into the other leather well?

3. AND can you share any tips and tricks that would take me to the place that I would do one.

Shooter, very nice collection of exotics. They all look great.

Thanks all.

cleanview: I typically do overlays of most of the exotics. I try not to with stingray though, but have. Just takes more work.

I find that most of the exotics edge and burnish out nicely. Especially shark and elephant. Gator can be tough due to the bony parts. Quill ostrich usually takes a little wax compound to get it looking good. But ya, for the most part, really simple. Just sand well to blend the seam and use a good edger to round it all over nice, then go back and burnish the heck out of it. Let me know if you have more questions on it!

I really like that revolver snap rig, and the high ride IWB design. Great work as expected!

All of your holsters are gorgeous. I love the exotics you use. They blend in, they're subtle, but so very nice. I like how you added the, what is it, croc? to the last belt to match it to the holster. And your molding is gorgeous. Anyway, thanks for posting pictures.

Very nice work and variety. Looks like you have the process under control. I hope to get into some exotics in the future.

Lookin' good. Ever have an issue with the ostrich shins pulling up (scales)? Seems like angling like that would tend to help with that.

What type of skin is the 1911 in the first pic sitting in?

Very nice, as usual. What kind of leather is the brown pebble grain used in the 1911 holster? #7 across the top?

The first set in post #20 is shark skin.

The brown pebbeled stuff is a piece of hide I found at Tandy. Fairly thin and I think its chrome tanned, I just treated it like an exotic and overlayed it on to a piece of cow. I really like how it looks.

Thanks!
