Thanks Cowboy,
Yer right, I need to do more walking on the beveling, I have a lot of scraps I kin practice on

JD, looks like that Skidmore's only comes in one size, I'll order a can and give it a try.
If it's good enough fer you it's good enough fer me.

Skidmore's comes in 1 1/2 & 6oz cans. We carry the "Cowboy Edition"
The company is really good to deal with. Vince Skidmore is a really good guy. I've a lot of time with him at the Sheridan Trade Shows over the years.

Slick, IMO once you try Skidmores, you will not want to use anything else. I dyed a long strap of leather, then I divided it up in multiple sections. I applied every top coat I could lay my hands on. I bought small quantities of everything except Skidmores. I'd read so many positive things about it I went ahead about bought the 6oz container.

I still have that strip of leather, and the Skidmores went on the easiest, looked as good as any and better than most of the other products I tried, and it leaves the leather feeling really good; not greasy, but it doesn't make it mushy. I think you will like it.   

[MontanaSlick]

Thank you JD, I think my prayers have been answered

6oz, how long does that last ya Pard? Seems ya dunt need to use too much.

Walkin the bevel

[JD Alan]

As the pros around here always say LIGHT COATS Be it EVOO Neatsfoot or much of anything else, light coats.

I guess it depends on how much you do, but so far this 6oz jar is working out fine. I'm no where near needing another one yet

[MontanaSlick]

TW, I'm sending for some, gotta try this stuff out.

    Thanks for the kind words JD, this was a different type knife sheath for me to do, but it was exactly the way he wanted it, so I hope he will be happy.

Well Snap Cattleman! What great work. I wish I lived closer to you (and WC, 10 Wolves, Kid Terico, Dalton, RT, the list goes on) I sure do like the look of that lacing, not to mention the excellent stamping and carving on the holster. You are doing awesome work!
