I'm not a fan of closed toes personally, but that is some beautiful gun leather! Um... gun AND knife leather?

Good job. What does the center holster fit?

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

Practice on scrap pieces to get your edge treatments improved. Experiment with different types of applicators. I've found that the applicator is the secret to good lines, I'm still trying to find the perfect one.

 

I really like your backgrounding! What tool was that?

So much leather...so little time.

I don't use edge coat often these days, but I use a fine pint brush. Takes forever... which is why I don't use it much.

I use a small dauber, they work better the second time, after use I wash them out and when they dry, they are less fluffy, and you get a better line. I keep trying other readily available items, but keep coming back to the dauber. I bought one of the Craftool roller applicators, but can't get it to work well at all. Sometimes simple is best. It's all about control with edge finishing. I was using edge paint until recently when I've started working with just a dye. Jury is still out on that choice.

Thanks for the info on the background tool.

Bob Parks has an edge marker out. Angellus also sells their version too.  I think Bobs is wider and stiff enough that you dont get little fibers hanging over the edge. You fill them with dye and just keep them filled. It works well.

I've seen that! I keep forgetting to get one. It really looks like the answer.
