Members JW Posted February 27, 2018 Members Report Posted February 27, 2018 Hi forum! It's been a long while, but I figured I would post a couple pics of a holster I made recently for an XD. It was fun making it, not happy with the way the tooling came out, but the customer liked it-- I guess that's what really matters. This is the 2nd holster I made, so any feedback on the tooling or if you have a comment about it, please let me know! Thanks for viewing, -JW Quote
Members ec2121 Posted February 27, 2018 Members Report Posted February 27, 2018 Nice.....I like it. Is that mahogany? Quote
alpha2 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 When I first looked at it, I thought, "nice tooling". Then I read what you wrote. I was a little surprised! Quote
Members JW Posted February 27, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 27, 2018 @ec2121 Thanks! It's actually Fiebings Antique Chestnut; I think it's a little less red in person. @alpha2 Thanks, I didn't mean to sound snobby or anything, I suppose it's the bane of the creator: it never looks like the way you envisioned it. I think it's just some of the curves in the scrollwork aren't... I guess, "curvy" enough. And some of the spirals where the scrollwork emanates from aren't perfectly circular. Quote

Members ffjdh Posted February 28, 2018 Members Report Posted February 28, 2018 Great work! Would you be willing to share your finishing process a little bit? Id love for my finishes to come out looking like that! Quote
