curved straps??
« on: April 04, 2004, 04:45:16 PM »
Whats the best way to make curved straps for a shoulder holster, etc, so that it lays flat on top of the shoulder? I am using 2 oz. leather for the straps, and have a strap cutter. Thanks. DM

If I'm understanding you right, I'd cut your pattern on a curve as well rather than straight.  Will 2 oz leather be enough to hold up?  I'm not trying to tell a man how to do something, but I'd consider that more of a liner than the body of the strap.
