That's some killer leathercrafting! Great detail in and out!

Very good looking. I really like the red interior which makes the black stand out in a rich color apperance!

I really like to color combo . . . gives it a unique classy look!

Greetings Everyone: I have a new, unused right handed holster for a Colt 1911 compact pistol (3 1/2" bbl). As shown in the snapshot, it has a basketweave front and will fit a belt up to 1 1/2 inches. I was midway through making this when my customer cancelled the order. It has been wet molded, is unlined and has an open bottom to allow any dirt or debris to clear. It is made from 6/7 leather. This holster was created by hand including the sewing. I've enclosed two sets of photos to show it with and without the holster seated. I used a Colt replica pistol for the pattern. Asking $55. which includes ground shipping within the U.S. Thank You,

For a first time attempt, the holster looks very, very good!

Thanks madmax Sure will . . . lol

This is an 8 3/8" x 6" oval law enforcement badge I designed for the "Downed Officers Memorial Ride" back in 2007. Only one was made for the event. I used a 3 ounce leather for the badge face and added on a 5 ounce leather for the backing support. I then saddle stitched them together completed with a smooth edge coating. Asking $55. which includes ground shipping fees.

Greetings: Many thanks for your reply to the badge. I don't know if anyone has made these for the commercial market . . . yet. It would be a good idea though. I made three others (each in a different badge style) but forgot to take a snaphot of 'em before I sold them. I visited your website and really enjoyed the quality items you make. Keep up the great work! Lil Rays Thanks Luke, Many thanks Josh. I visited your website and found it very well organized and really like the custom products you design. Lil Rays

Hello: For the support ride lettering, I used a machinist stamping set that used for metal or wood. The set came with a click punch holder which works well with thicker leather and give just enough impression with the letters and numbers. I purchased one on ebay for a few bucks and has been very useful in smaller or tight areas. Many thanks Joe.

Great job on the color and design! You added a unique look. Lil Rays

Greetings Everyone: This is a sports holster I made with a clip on backing for a 1 3/4" belt. As shown in the photo, I raised the back portion to protect the shooters clothing. I found this "different pattern" in a ladies lingerie catalog and thought it might be interesting to carve it onto a holster front. Hope you enjoy the pic. Lil Rays

Hello Scott: The holsters really looking great! Looking forward to seeing more in the future. Best Regards, Lilrays

Greetings Phil: Welcome aboard! You're in great company here. I really like the variety of items you've made and looking forward to seeing more in the future. Lilrays

Great leathercraft designs and colors! Keep up the great work! Lilrays

This is an 8 3/8" x 6" design of a law enforcement badge I designed for the "Downed Officers Memorial Ride" back in 2007. This is an annual event that's held in the Santa Clarita area of Southern California each year. I found this badge shape in a police supply catalog and thought it would be something different to try. I used a 3/4 ounce leather for the badge face and added on a 5/6 ounce leather for the backing support. I then saddle stitched them together. Hope you enjoy the pic. Happy Carving to All! Lilrays

For starting out not too long ago, you've really got some great designs and a good eye for detail items. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff! Lilrays

My hats off to you! You did a fantastic job! Lilrays

Those are some killer looking holsters!! You've got a great eye for detail! Lilrays

Great looking carvings . . . keep up the great work!! lilrays

Hello: I don't know if this was suggested but airsoft pistols may be helpful since many are the exact size and shape of the handgun you're making. I had bought a few to aid me when I couldn't get hold of the customers actual pistol. When I would buy one, I made sure to check the photo of the actual firearm to ensure that what I'm buying is the right one then I would try to buy it in person to get a close up look. Hope this helps . . . lilrays
