Post by **Holt** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 1:19 am

Hi

Just want to share my new Budget Holster from Todd...I tried out for a blend between Raiders distressed and real life distressed..well actually more Raiders then real life..I wanted it to look like it has been on some adventures

to get it in this brown color like you see in Raiders I used two different leather dyes..

what do you think?

Very good. I especially like the touch you did with that curl on the clasp.

thanks.I used a pocket knife.sandpaper and a steelwool sponge..

after sanding the hole thing hard down I dyed it in two shades to match the screen look.after it dried I reworked the distressing and beating,sanding and abusing the clasp
