Homemade leather Glock 23 holster

My first attempt at leatherworking in over 10 years. Actually I made 2 for my father in laws XD sub as well as a slick double mag holder right before this one and they all came out even better. I guess my patience was wearing thin by the time I got around to mine. The piece of leather I chose for mine just didn't want to tool down as nicely as those others. I have no stitching machine so I layed out the holes with dial calipers and punched them with an awl and hammer on a board, then saddle stitched it all by hand. The dye is black oil based and covers all but the inside and the sealer is wax from a new toilet bowel wax ring seal. It was actually finished about 6 months ago and so far the gun still fits and draws as well as the day it was done. My father in law retired his kydex holster and carries his XD EVERYWHERE in one of mine now and it's holding up fine.
