Now, full disclosure...this is what it looked like before I rescued it

So the rescue was a full success.  How did you do it?  Was the leather already resisted/antiqued/sealed before you started the rescue process?  Your experience might allow me to retrieve some items from the error... practice  uhh.. not yet completed projects bin....

Even the pre- rescue pic  doesn't look so bad , but its nice to see that other leather workers do something similar  to what  I do.  What I have done in the past, if something goes a bit awry.....I dye it a much darker colour, and if that doesn't work ....I dye it black  no matter what  It hides all my ' mistooks'  Ha !!     

I fully understand about the spacing on the camo. But going back to the weave, the  ' tri- weave ' has caused me to say a few words , that can't be repeated here,   on occasion  Ha !  

We can't be perfect all the time eh?

Handstitched, there is an excellent video on the tri-weave. I couldn't do it before I watched it. It's like a light came on! I'll try to find out which video it was.

YinTx, the holster was just antiqued, but not sealed yet. I don't know what I was thinking, I've never done things in that order before. I used Fiebings past antique, and usually I don't use that. I will definitely try some practice pieces next time.
