The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - I couldn't find an ROA holster that I liked..

showed it over on a leatherworker's forum and they wanted to see the edge of the main seam.

So I took these pics...

They suggested the holster needed edge burnishing.

All sorts of different methods are recommended there - but I used files, sandpaper, spit, beeswax, a dremel tool with a sanding drum and a felt wheel, an old piece of turned ivory and plenty of elbow grease.

After that the whole holster was lightly sprayed with a sealer (Mop & Glow and water) then lightly waxed with Kiwi neutral and buffed with flannel..

and here's the finished product...
