MADMAX22 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Well tried another rifle sling this time using the proper thickness leather (8/9oz), I dyed it with british tan and chocolate, neats foot, lexal, then aussie wax. I sealed the back with tan kote and will probably try and seal the front I just didnt want too as I didnt want to screw it up like I usually do when I seal stuff, ecspecially stuff that flexes. The back has the 1/4" neoprene covered in suade. The design was a dover design. Also I apologize for the pics, I really need a proper booth (gotta build one one of these days).

TomSwede Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Looking very good! I like how the design comes out over the border. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MADMAX22 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Thanks Tom. Now that I look at the pictures I realized that the one stitch that I pushed the awl too far thru really shows up. You can really see it in the top right of this latest photo. Ahh well. Heres another picture, I went ahead and finished it with some leather balm w/ atom wax. About the only finish I seem to be able to get a good result with. Gave it a nice shine. Edited January 7, 2009 by MADMAX22 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
