Wish I had the gun this set was built for, a Guncrafter Industries polished Model 1 .50GI 1911

Anywho, here is my second go at it. The first holster had a mishap on the sewing machine and the last inch of thread walked out of the stitch groove about 1/8 of an inch. Not super noticeable, but also not what the customer payed for.

Quite labor intensive, but I sure do like how they look when they're finished.

Both the holster and mag pouch are fully leather lined. Color is my custom mixed Black Cherry, inlay is black quill ostrich.

As always, feel free to question, comment, or critique.

thanks!

Well done! This place (leatherworker.net) and you guys/gals are a great place to come to get humble. The work I see here is top notch and this post has me wanting to work with exotic leather bad!

This statement is why your work looks so good. The hairs on the back og my neck stand up every time I hear someone say "no one will notice". You best work is considered the worst work you do. This holster looks great!

Shooter, your color choices are second only to the final product. Great work. What dye are you using?

Thank you all for the kind remarks!

The black cherry is an ever evolving mix of Fiebings Oxblood and Fiebings USMC Black, with a drop or two or Fiebings Cordovan.

The leather lining is 3-4oz W&C saddle skirting.

I agree with everyone else, nothing short of spectacular. I love the color and the overall look is 1st rate.
