Members Rhome Posted November 21, 2008 Members Report Posted November 21, 2008 Hi everyone, I haven't posted in awhile as I've been busy making holsters for the new web site. I thought I'd share some of the latest one's I made for some of the guy's down at my favorite gun store. They all carry Glock's so I made them each one but each one is a little different, comments are always welcome ( good or bad ). Thanks for looking ! Quote
BruceGibson Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Nice job, Rhome! What's the rake/cant on those? Quote
ArtS Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Beautiful holsters! Is the shark hard to work with? Art Quote
Members Rhome Posted November 21, 2008 Author Members Report Posted November 21, 2008 Hi and thanks, Bruce the cant is 20 deg. And Arts, shark is rather simple to work with, about the only part that gives me problems is when I'm doing the edges, you need to start with a very sharp edger. Other than that it's the cost. But thank you for your comments. Best, Rhome Quote
Members Daniel Posted November 22, 2008 Members Report Posted November 22, 2008 Beautiful work!! Quote

Members Shorts Posted November 22, 2008 Members Report Posted November 22, 2008 Those are beautiful! I really like the shark. Quote
Members DCKNIVES Posted November 22, 2008 Members Report Posted November 22, 2008 Very nice work Rhome.I haven't had much call for shark( must be because I live near the beach in Fl.) but it is nice leather.Dave Quote
Members mattsh Posted November 22, 2008 Members Report Posted November 22, 2008 Rhome Very nice. Question for you, is the shark you are using veggie tanned or chrome tanned? Quote
Members Rhome Posted November 23, 2008 Author Members Report Posted November 23, 2008 RhomeVery nice. Question for you, is the shark you are using veggie tanned or chrome tanned? Hi, To be honest with you, I'm not sure. In any case I cement and stitch it to a piece of veg. tanned, and I make sure it never rests on the firearm itself. Quote
Members IHL Posted November 23, 2008 Members Report Posted November 23, 2008 The only shark that is out there is Veg Tanned, you CANNOT mold Chrome tan or should i say it wont hold a shape, but in order to make a holster out of shark, it has to be laminated to regular veg tan leather if indeed you will be molding or boning the shape of the gun into the holster. You can also just add a piece of shark as trim also. Quote
Members mattsh Posted November 26, 2008 Members Report Posted November 26, 2008 525brwn....so shark is not chrome tanned?? Quote
Members IHL Posted November 27, 2008 Members Report Posted November 27, 2008 525brwn....so shark is not chrome tanned?? I haver never seen shark advertised as chrome tan. I have bought $15,000.00 of shark over the years and it is all veg Tan. Thanks 525BRWN Quote
Members badger Posted November 27, 2008 Members Report Posted November 27, 2008 Sorry to jump in. Where would I be able to buy Shark leather? Is it fairly easy to find? Thanks, Karl Quote
