Holster thonging

Recommended Posts

I got a request to make a holster "just like this one", most of the holster could be a model for the Al Stohlman book except for the lacing.  Looking at the trigger area, the leather is joined at a 90 deg angle.  The only way I can see to do that is to do a normal lacing stitch but keep it a little loose and then rotate the leather to the 90 deg angle and then tighten up the lacing.  The entire seam isn't so extreme, but it's not flat.

Any suggestions?

This is also 1/4" lace so i'm going to have to make a 1/4" thonging awl since I can't find one.

Can we see the rest of the holster, . . . might make it easier to understand.

May God bless,

By the way it's cut, I'd say it was made just as you said.... somebody laced it "traditionally", and over time it "rotated" out.

Thanks for the reply JLS, I was wondering if that was the case.  

Now that i see the pics, I'm even more sure that's all it is.  Line up edges, lace, form, ... dunn.
