1911 Colt Commander holster recently finished. Shown here in an in-house custom blended mahogany, genuine black shark reinforcement panel, black stitching, and black edges all around.

Very nice.  Did you use a backing for the shark or is it applied straight to the holster?  What did you use to edge burnish the shark?

Thank you! Yes, I used a leather backer for the shark. Once the glue has dried, I cut the excess shark off, sand even, crease for stitch line. Edge as you would any other leather, then dye. For burnishing, I use Barry King's Quick Slick, followed but black Brillant Yankee Wax, then buff with horsehair brush. After all that it gets glued in place. Oh, I hold off on sanding and edging the top until after I have stitched it into place, then repeat that whole process.

Thanks for the info.  Never heard of Brilliant Wax.
