Members Bolt Vanderhuge Posted February 5, 2017 Author Members Report Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) I work the edges with just a multi size slicker from Tandy. Edited February 5, 2017 by Bolt Vanderhuge Quote
Members Jarhead44706 Posted February 7, 2017 Members Report Posted February 7, 2017 Really nice work. Edges are top notch. Nice use of exotics. Quote
Members Bolt Vanderhuge Posted February 7, 2017 Author Members Report Posted February 7, 2017 Thank you. Edges are somethng I value in finished leather goods. So I put the effort in to try to make mine to be something I would want if I was buying it in a finished state. They have not all been winners though. Quote

These were made with Hermann Oak's craftsman grade. They are dyed with Fiebing's Pro Oil dyes. I have some B grade being delivered today. I wish I used enough leather or new others to go in with to order direct from Hermann Oak and try some of their A grade. But for now the B grade will have to do. Quote
Members OLDNSLOW Posted February 22, 2017 Members Report Posted February 22, 2017 what thickness? and how long do you wet it for? Quote

I use a spray bottle and spray just spray the surface enough that I get water on all of it with a little bit more on the gun pocket than on the wings. Then after a few seconds I use my fingers to open the holster a bit and spray the inside. After that I will put my makers stamp on it and then make the detail lines at the muzzle and the sweat guard. These things only take a few minutes so I usually hav to wait a bit longer for the leather to return to a lighter color before doing the actual molding. Quote
