Rhome Report post 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 !

Rhome Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattsh Report post Posted November 22, 2008 Rhome Very nice. Question for you, is the shark you are using veggie tanned or chrome tanned? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhome Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IHL Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
