Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this type of question but i am new to this forum as well as new to making leather holsters. I have made a total of 3 holsters so far and they turned out fairly well for the first few attempts.
I am out of leather as i only order a small amount to see if i enjoyed making them and i am now ready to place another order for leather.
So to my question. I am planing to order a double shoulder 8-10oz, but i was also looking at horse-butt. The website says it is good for making holsters and i like the natural color of it so i wouldn't have to stain it. I was wondering if horse-butt was good for making holsters as it is only 6-7oz which seems low for holsters, and also can you tool horse-butt? I am more concerned about the tooling of horse-butt. Thanks in advance.
