Latest Holster, Belt, And Mag Carrier

[4wheeler4]

This is my first posting of work on the forum, I started leatherworking last September and have learned so much from all of the expertise on here. This is for a Glock 17 with two magazine holder. I really like the two tones of the belt, it is geometric basket weave pattern with Fiebings British Tan and Dark Brown. The belt is lined and everything is handstitched. My edges could use some work but I am continuing to improve with time. The stiffeners are stamped and just a touch of hand work for the branches.

Thank you all for your comments and encouragement. @RedCent....about six hours in the stitching for the belt alone. I am slow!!!! If I were to ever do this on a commercial basis I would be buying a machine. I have refurbished an old Single treadle 29-4 but it cannot sew the thick thread or leather for these projects. Again, thanks!

Great job...... a couple suggestions for the next time. The cut lines for the branches pop more than the stamped oak leaves and acorns and draws the eyes. I like to stamp the leaves and acorns, cut the branches and then with a small beveler bevel everything. This sounds like work but the benefits are worth it. It will really tie everything together and make them stand out. Try it on some scrap and also study casing leather.

Keep up the great work an look forward to seeing some more of your work.

Thank you very much for the suggestions, I will give that a try. I will also get on the casing leather. I went to your website and all I can say is WOW! Your work is impressive.
