Members Alric77 Posted May 26, 2020 Members Report Posted May 26, 2020 I was playing around a little with visual effects when I was making this horsehide holster for a Ruger LC9 with crimson trace trigger guard. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted June 11, 2020 Members Report Posted June 11, 2020 Is that the Craftaid press plate? I've been chasing woodgrain for a while and it's tough to nail down. I really like the green leaf, it pulls the woodgrain theme around nicely. Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted June 11, 2020 Members Report Posted June 11, 2020 That is very interesting. Especially on a holster. I like the.leaf stiffener too. I've never used horse wither, is it hard to work with? @battlemunky just something I remember seeing (I haven't taken or actually seen the lesson personally) but jim linnells elktracks studio has a lesson teaching how to do wood grain. Search elktracks studio and it'll bring up his site. I imagine its done mostly with a swivel knofe and modeling spoon but I can't really say. Just something I thought you may be interested in Quote
Members battlemunky Posted June 11, 2020 Members Report Posted June 11, 2020 Good to know @Stetson912, I'll check it out. Here's the link. It's $30, maybe rainy day or if it's ever discounted. https://elktracksstudio.com/products/wood-grain-texture-leather Quote

It doesn't soften up much at all when you water case it, & it's almost waterproof on its own. When I go to wet mold it, I have to just drop it in a bucket of water & let it sit there overnight. Quote
