Boriqua Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Hey Pit seems we are in the same hood. the holster pictured is 8-9 oz. The trick for me is a quick submerse after sewing. probably a couple of seconds tops then right into a sealed freezer bag for about 35 minutes. I wish I could be alot more detailed but I kind of judge it by eye and feel and that is about right. After I have jammed my gun down in there I start rubbing with my thumbs and finding the grooves and high spots. I then start to work it with a bone. https://www.tandyleather.com/en-usd/search/searchresults/8117-01.aspx You will be surprised how much detail you can bring up with some patience but lobo was right going into it multiple times just ruins the lines. I tried the vaporlock bag and I didnt care for the results. The moisture content wasnt right for me but each to their way. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted May 13, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted May 13, 2015 This leather measure just under 9 oz. Nothin' fancy, just some warm water ana bone tool ...

Pit 4 Brains Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Posted May 14, 2015 Wow. I really need to get going on my next holster. My turkey hunt is going to be a snow/rainout this weekend so I might as well get some leather tomorrow and get to work. Thanks for all the tips! Looks like it's time to pick up one of those boning tools too.. Quote
