New IWB and OWB holster I made

Dual duty....can be worn outside the waistband or inside. Made from 7/9 oz. tooling/shoulder leather. I left it undyed and finished it with my beeswax/BLO/Turpentine mixture which gives it a nice color of honey.

Cut the holster design

Tool used to make the stamping pattern

Rough fitting

Mouth stiffening layer and OWB belt loop

Hand Stitching

Getting there

Wet and stretch the slots for the pants belt

Burnish it with an antler tine to "form" the raised loop

Applying the waterproofing compound. Rub the wax in by hand and then hit it with low heat from a heat gun. This forces the leather to absorb it.

Finished product

The OWB loop is going to get a different treatment...a rehydrating lanolin/mink oil paste I get from Tandy Leather.
