If you are serious, take a look in the Classified section.

Great work!

I see that the basketweave one seems to be lightly formed to the revolver. Did you wet-form it or is that just where the gun is making an impression because it is in the holster? Also, if it is wet-formed, did you do the basketweave before or after forming it to the gun? I'm assuming that wetting the leather to form would mess up the weave but I'm wondering if stamping the weave wouldn't mess up the forming to the handgun.

I ask because I have made a few holsters but only used the basic tools and improvised with other, non-leather specific tools. I also went a little 'ghetto' with my finish. These were mostly to see if I could do it, at all. Since those were successful, I picked up a few more 'job specific' leather tools (including some baskedweave stamps) and would like to make something that looks as nice as that basketweave job you did.

Congrats. Those look great. Black basket weave would make a great duty holster.

I have been selling a few, but I simply don't have the molds or the guns to use for molds for a lot of models. I can make one for most Smith and Wesson revolvers, a 1911, a Cz52, a 1903 Colt, A 51 Remington, 1907 Savage, 1908 Colt, and a few other odd, old models.
