Cowboy Holster

Using a sponge, I wetted the center line of the holster inside and out. I let the water soak in for a few minutes, to let the leather become pliable, then I folded the holster along the center line. I did NOT make this a sharp crease--just a gentle roll. The reason I’m doing this is that I plan to line the holster with pigskin, and if you line it and then fold it the inner layer of pigskin can get wrinkled. I’m trying to avoid that by folding it first.
