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 www.desbiensgunleather.com

ArtS Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Beautiful holsters! Is the shark hard to work with? Art Quote Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself." – Galileo Galilei
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 www.desbiensgunleather.com

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?

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 www.desbiensgunleather.com
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 International Handgun Leather Since 1994 & Martin & Son Makers Est. 1994 www.ihlusa.com
