Members OLDNSLOW Posted March 19, 2017 Members Report Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) One of the locals here in town asked me to make a pancake for a Ruger SP 101 and belt for him to hold it all up with. At this point I have done a fare amount of belts and cake holsters for semi autos but not for a six gun. So I went ta looken and seeun what I needed to do and of course get the blue gun along with the metal that allows for the snapping and unsnapping. He wanted everything dark brown, for the holster I used W/C and the belt was cut out from a H. O.16oz skirting, it was interesting to find that each took the dye differently and oh the holster is 8/9oz with a 1/2oz pigskin liner, so here y'all go.

bikermutt07 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 Good looking set up. I like the scallops. Quote 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. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Sorry, I guess being a Pom raised in Oz might account for the spelling mistake . (Maybe I was subconsciously thinking of the Purdy shotgun...).

Members OLDNSLOW Posted March 20, 2017 Author Members Report Posted March 20, 2017 the dye used on this holster is the Feibings dark brown, I think they call it the pro dye or the oil based dye, but the other contributor is that I also used feibings neats foot compound oil, it that helps the dye colors become a little more saturated of course that is my opinion and I am sticking to it.

Members Sofaspud Posted March 20, 2017 Members Report Posted March 20, 2017 Thanks, don't think I've tried that one. Looks really good. Quote
