OLDNSLOW Report post 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.

OLDNSLOW Report post 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.
