Members mikesherman Posted July 9, 2017 Author Members Report Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Thanks all for the comments and suggestions. As for the antiquing that was the plan...I went with that and it worked out all right. My skills when it comes to dyeing/coloring are pretty weak, so it doesn't look great, but I'm working on it. And Eco Flo isn't the greatest; I guess my next challenge is to research and practice finishing and to find some better quality products...hard to do in California. I decided to do some very light touch up of the stamping, and I'm more or less happy with the results. I'm starting another holster project today, and I'll give it a try with molding first and tooling after, just to see how it comes out...I can always start over... I've never done triple loop lacing before, so it came out a bit rough. But, I liked doing it, so it's all good. And I'm still trying to figure out how to handle images in my post...I don't want them to be huge inline, but I'm not sure how to display smaller sizes that can be enlarged... As always, comments and critique are welcomed...I really want to improve my skills...lots of gifts to be made, and I want them to be good! Edited July 9, 2017 by mikesherman changed image size Quote

Members Sofaspud Posted July 10, 2017 Members Report Posted July 10, 2017 Good job. The antiquing really brought out the tooling. Your lacing looks good. If it's available in California I recommend Fiebing antique paste. I definitely prefer it to Eco Flo. Quote
