Built me a holster

All they would sell me was a 12x48 piece for $34 or so. How did you get them to sell you a smaller section. Did you call the place on reno? What thickness did you go? I was thinking .08 or .093.

If you have a "Tandy Leather" nearby, they sell leather scraps for less than $10 a pound I bought a couple of pounds 5 years ago and still have some left. That way you can try lots of different colors, thicknesses and types for cheap. Pick up a catalog while your there and you can also mail order just about any tool or fitting you can imagine. Plus, there is NOTHING like the smell of a leather shop, it alone is worth the trip!

So the wood stain dried out the leather. Glad i didnt go there then. What did you kydex cost you. I was fixing to order a 12x24 piece fro m knifekits.com for $10 plus shipping, but id rather spend a few more bucks and pick it up local

I stopped by there yesterday adn yes it smelled wonderful. I was talking about the kydex. I bought a big piece for $17. Probably 6 ft long by 18-24 wide. Plenty for quite a few holsters
