Members BarHLeather Posted September 18, 2016 Members Report Posted September 18, 2016 I have stated before we are new to the leather working ( Since April of 2016). We take all feedback and learn from it. LOL. Here are a few holsters that we have done. The one that was tooled was our first tooling job that we had ever gotten. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted September 18, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted September 18, 2016 HEY... these are lookin' good! I personally like the natural (last) one, but I've always liked natural leather. It may just be the angle of the lighting, but the tooled one, the belt and holster appear to be a bit different shade. I always make a point of cutting the holster and belt from the same hide - minimize any variation. But, it still looks good, and nicely done stitchin' and edgin' never hurts a thing Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
MADMAX22 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 Look pretty darn nice IMHO. If I was making them I would burnish the edges on the bullet loops so that it goes with the rest of the rig. Not sure if they are on yours but the photo it doesnt look like it. It adds a little touch that I imagine some would look at and its relatively easy. The tooling is hard to see details, a closeup I think would allow some good advice in that area. Quote
Members BarHLeather Posted September 18, 2016 Author Members Report Posted September 18, 2016 LOL.... Good eye JLSleather. It was closer to color in person than what the photo shows. There just wasn't enough of the leather that I had on hand when I got to the holster and it was cut from 2 different hides. The other 2 were cut from the sames hide for both of the pieces. The very bottom one was lined with 6 oz horse hide on the inside. I am partial to the natural color myself! MADMAX22, I had thought of that but it ended up coming to mind after everything was done. It would help make the overall appearance of them. Thanks Quote
Members BarHLeather Posted September 18, 2016 Author Members Report Posted September 18, 2016 Not a very good photo. But, I did find one that was a little closer of the tooling. Quote
