Made me a holster

So I had a hide shoulder on hold at the local trading post until I brought in enough acorns, roadkill, and rocks to trade for it. I finally brought it home the other day, and decided to make a holster for my ranch edc revolver. 

Glued the edges and drying.

Stitched up and ready for wet forming. I used dental floss since I didn't have any artificial sinew.

Wet formed and drying. Next is the first burnishing and dyeing.

All set up and ready to dye, put on a nice smooth coat of dark brown...ah crap!
Alright so it's not all smooth and even...I guess that's what you get for using wood stain instead of proper dye...but hey it looks pretty cool!


I'm happy with how it turned out. I like the horsehair tassel for the hammer loop.
