Josh Ashman Report post Posted August 13, 2020 Pretty happy with how this turned out. It's 8 ox lined with 4 oz, both HO. Although I did cut the liner closer tot he belly than I should have. I believe this is why the backside of the skirt at the loop edges shows the wrinkles as bad as it does, Looks worse int he pictures than in real life, but still less then ideal. Finish is Fiebings liquid antique black over a coat of NF and topped off with M&G cut with water. All the best, Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuck123wapati Report post Posted August 14, 2020 Awesome, tooling and the coloring is really nice. Nice western take on an 1911 holster. Maybe some skiving at hose bends would help? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Ashman Report post Posted August 14, 2020 Thanks everybody! I appreciate the kind comments! Chuck, that's a fine suggestion on skiving the liner where it wrinkled. Doing so may have helped but I think my main issue was where I cut the liner. Dang near every time I get into the belly on a side and think it'll be OK it dissappoints me. You'd think I'd learn but I'm far to stubborn, cheep or slow for that . All that said it's a minor issue that really is much less noticeable in real life than in the picture I posted. Have a great Friday and weekend everybody! Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dikman Report post Posted August 14, 2020 I've said it before - damn, you do nice work! As for wrinkles, you worry too much. I doubt if anyone else would worry about such an insignificant amount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
