Hello all, I have been lurking around here for a while and just registered and decided its time to get involved with all you fine folks...
I used to do a little leather work many years ago and have started to get back into it for a while now, I've been making holsters for friends and family. Now i'm going to try and expand a little and see if I can get something a little more going. I am going to post a few pics of my Avenger style and would like a little feedback, don't worry I have pretty thick skin and I want to put out a quality product. Here is one for my EMP and one for my XD s.c. Let me know what you think. Any and all feedback is welcome.
Thanks,

look good. OWB . some pics with a belt would show off the rake.
not sure about the extra leather around the outside of the mouth. i know it is there to aid in re-holstering with one hand but 3 lines of stiching works also.....just saying.
and i am a fan of the minimilistic look. so i like how the EMP can develope.

RKirk.....do you have a permit to have that computer?
as i've noticed about others--that they do not always do as i think they will nor often as they say they will.
this not only makes life interesting, it makes it dangerous too.
For Sale 1985 Toyota Supra. one owner, 82K, will pass inspection, only needs some body/rust patching
Now they do, let me tell you that it took a few tries to get it right though.
Thanks, for the kind words (so far). The Avenger style isn't going to ride quite as tight to the body as the Pancake holsters I make do, but will cover pretty easily under a longer shirt or jacket.

still playing crystal caves & pong, ehh?
I understand exactly what your saying, it is definately a little chunkier than a traditional pancake, it would be hard to get rid of that extra leather on this one in my opinion as its the belt slot on the backside. I could just put a belt slot on the back but I think it takes away from the overall look. I appreciate the comments. (I will get to posting some pictures of my pancake holsters at some point, probably next wee since my wife has the camera out of town)
I like 'em. The stitching is nice and the boning looks good. I've haven't used that style holster yet so can't comment there. What are you using to stain it? I would go darker or lighter with the color. Are you hand tooling or stamping these? I like the carving. I think a leaf pattern would be better than the basket weave. The only thing I don't like is the sealer shine. What are you using?

I am using Fiebing's Saddle Tan Oil Dye. I will be using an airbrush hopefully shortly to apply my dye and finish, and will be able to do many more things like fading in edges with different colors. I am hand tooling these, they are one in the same, its a basket stamp but it probably took hundreds to do that reinforcement peice on the holster. I have several floral patterns that work nicely on the reinforcement peice. It was my first go with the Springfield Emp pattern and I definetly have a few things that I will probably change for my main production type pattern. I have been using two coats of Satin Sheen then I wipe the excess and the final coat if wanted (some do and some don"t) is the acrylic resolene which I believe is what your referring to, I'm kind of neutral I like some of them a little flatter and some with a little more shine. I appreciate the feedback.
I like the color... very rich and deep looking. I am not a persoanl fan of basket weave detailing but that is personal taste only. It looks well done. The extra panel on the body of the holster appears to be what makes it look chunkier, once again a matter of personal taste. The boning appears to have good detail and the stitches all look well set and even. Looks overall as good as any avenger style I have seen.
