Members missiontom Posted September 11, 2015 Members Report Posted September 11, 2015 very nice detail, really like the oak leaf pattern, plus the all the back ground work really makes the oak leafs pop out, great job... Quote
Members Rohn Posted September 11, 2015 Author Members Report Posted September 11, 2015 Thank you all for the nice comments. Here is how I did this holster. After tooling was finished and the leather dried, I dyed it with Fiebings Saddle Tan and let it dry. Then I whip stitched it every other hole, wet the leather and molded it to the gun. I let it dry. Then I cut out the lace and gave it a good coat of Tan-kote and let that dry. I then applied the antique dye and once this is dry I gave it another coat of Tan-kote. Then I laced it with triple loop stitch. I takes me approximately 45 minutes to lace a holster this size. I do not use any glue. Once the final lacing is done I give it a final coat of Tan-kote and it is done. Hope this answers any questions but if not keep asking. As for me not using any stitching with thread - that is about to change as I bought a sewing machine and will be doing some of my things with that as time goes on. I just don't enjoy hand stitching and people like my laced holster anyway. This holster design is my own and at this point the holster is not yet sold, but I don't think it will be around long.

Members Wild Bill46 Posted September 13, 2015 Members Report Posted September 13, 2015 I think this is a fantastic piece of ART, Your Lacing is really superior looking ! And goes with both your tooling/backgrounding and coloring. As I've come to expect in a Roan piece. Always look forward to your next work, --- Wild Bill46 Quote

Members Dan28 Posted September 14, 2015 Members Report Posted September 14, 2015 I like it, and I usually don't like the laced edge style. Quote
