I treat my holsters with Tan-kote from Fiebings. I usually give the a couple of coats. It give a good looking finish and seems to last a long time too.

I use resolene for most of my projects as my finish coat. I usually only add neatsfoot oil when I have used a cut dye for my dying. I have no scientific basis but I figure if I cut my cordovan solvent dye 50% with denatured alcohol then spray the leather good and wet with it and let it dry that I ought to replenish some oil. Could be complete waste of time hoodoo but it makes me feel better. If I use straight dye I usually just finish up with resolene on most things and I have people show me holsters I made 8 yrs ago still going strong.

On pieces that I know will spend a great deal of time under heavy field use I offer the neatsfoot/beeswax paste finish and melt it into the surface. Gives a great looking TOUGH long wearing finish.

Holster looks great!!

Mind if I pick your brain on how you did the coin inlay? I am trying to add two coins (1851 and 1856 large penny) to a belt I am using for a two rig set
