2 exotics 1 holster. Can/should it be done.

A customer bought a owb pancake style with caiman accent/reinforcement panel. He wants me to now make another one for a different gun using what's left of the Caiman and ostrich leg. Not only do I think it will look weird but don't know how to get a good joined edge.............. business card for scale. Ta. Matt.

I would say no. Doesn't look like enough material  to do the job properly 

[Mattsbagger]

Ya I don't think so either. So he bought a mag carrier with a piece of camain on it to match.

I have to agree that there is not enough or atleast the right parts of the leg left to make it work. These two colors are probably not a great look together either. But if you did have larger pieces getting them to mate up together is not difficult at all. Just use some thin leather under the leg to get it to the same thickness as the other exotic. Then match the cut pattern to one another. When gluing them onto the same panel of leather be sure to press them tightly up against one another. This is where getting the joint cut correct really shows its importance. As for looks using Ostrich legs with another exotic, my preferance would be to have the plates centered and starting from the outside running into the center of the other exotic.
