Members tclaridge Posted December 11, 2015 Members Report Posted December 11, 2015 Here is my first revolver holster- a gift for my Dad. He likes to inlay a Montana coin in his woodworking projects, so I thought I'd do the same for his holster. Thanks to everyone here for all the tips I have gleaned over the past months as I've taken up leatherwork. My learning curve has been shortened considerably thanks to all the expertise offered here. What a great community! God bless, Tanner Quote All the best, Tanner @claridge_leather (instagram)

Members tclaridge Posted December 15, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 15, 2015 Thanks for the encouragement! Looks like many of you who responded are holster makers-- can I ask how you normally treat the leather in terms of oils, finishes, etc.? I have not oiled the leather at any phase of the project (mostly because I don't have any and I do not want to lose the rigid structure of the holster). I have been using Sno-Seal beeswax and shoe polish, nothing else yet. Do you have recommendations for how to treat it in such a way that will keep the leather in good shape without softening it? Thanks! Tanner Quote All the best, Tanner @claridge_leather (instagram)
