"gun" holster

The mold is Duncan's gun for Boberg XR9-S - same gun, new name. Click to enlarge.

No, really did PITCH EM OUT. In fact, the first one I did that didn't look too bad, I RUINED with far too much neatsfoot oil, so after waiting several days for it to clear up I threw it away. The translation is of course what GOOGLE TRANSLATE comes up with, so you decide how accurate that it

If you can paint with a brush (and you can) then you can paint with an airbrush, and probably faster. What brush over there - still red sable?

Some of my early work went directly in the trash, before anyone got to see it. And later I will of course deny writing this post Некоторые из моих ранних работ пошли прямо в мусор, прежде чем кто-нибудь увидел это. И позже я, конечно, откажусь писать это

Absolutely stunning. I always say I can teach any munky to tool/carve leather, but this is genuine art!

Glad I could help in some way. LOVE to see yer pics.

WAIT ... WHAT?@! THis is what you call 'needs improvement'? It may be hand made, but "hand made' is not the same as POORLY made. I did a short article about this a while back, but it's only in English Check it out... I think you apply! http://www.jlsleather.com/hand-made-well-made/ In fact, you got a web site, or pics on FB or any of that? I would not hesitate to link to your work as an example that HAND made can still be WELL made.

Nope, rightey. The flat panel goes on the OUTSIDE, supposed to ruin the footprint of the piece.

Preciatecha, but ABHANDMADE'S portrait makes these look .. well ... less

Sometimes I offer a little experience (even "bad" ones) that might help a fella. If YOU can learn from MY mistakes, this is good. But if I was going to attach a price to it, I would say that up front. Big Souix, your opinion has value at my place.. 'preciatcha keepin' an eye on me To return to normal programming - as in something leather which is profitable, inspiring, or informational -- EVERYBODY should see

LOVE teh subtle coloring! Makes ALL that floral stuff look, ... well.... less.

Title dun sayd it all --- the black is quite dull, it'll buff up once it's all the way dry. Right handed, with removal back piece from 2 layers of 3/4 oz HO (aint put the screws in yet).

Just bookmark the page.. so anybody sending me a beard knife will know to just send on to you. Assuming Bob is a darn decent fella (and he may be, I owuldn't know) in teh end the name don't carry no weight round here. I also don't own any al stohlman brand stuff. If it helps you, or even if it do'nt but you like to have it anyway, have at 'er. I'm not ordering one, so you sure kin have the one that aint mine

Oh, shoot.. maybe another time. I was thinking something more in the 2-4 oz range. 'Preciate the reply, as will others here.

i got some buddies out of work because of that. I survived it because I know the programming end, and the CAD and CAM involved. But yeah -- what used to pay $23-28 per hour has been largely replaced by a high school kid getting $9 to watch the machine and hit that red emergency button when something goes wrong Must be sum kinda redneck thing.. tractors same as swivel knives? I'm SO jealous. Never seen any "extra" money. But it AINT about the money. As a matter of principle, I do not care to PAY MORE for something that ISN'T MORE. If it was NICER than some I already have, I would say so. And while I didn't set out to offend by not accepting what was intended as a gift, I know he's too far away ta punch me in da eye Maybe he tryin'a tell me my carvin' need sum werk ?@!

Takes a bit longer than printing Better pic ... you might recognize this as an OLD (1950's?) Al Stohlman carving design, only it's not carved, on a Tandy "free spirit" handbag style (cricket 1970-ish) ..

Your phones working? I'm getting a message that you folks currently closed ?@! But the question some might have -- how THICK is this stuff? Beyond that, I suppose I'll have to pick some up to see the size of teh 'pieces'.. certainly better option that coming all teh way down there

Yup, email from there says they need the original card number for full refund once they receive the return.

Anybody tried this stuff, or do I need to be the guinea pig? Guess the link helps ... https://www.springfieldleather.com/shark-remnants

SOME folks thought this carving looked okay-ish. Done before I ever saw a "barry king" knife - and these too

Airbrush works, but doesn't have the speed of printing direct.

That might be valid. Problem is, there are SO many out there NOT making the best tote, yet claiming that they ARE the best tote. It's just BULL. Everywhere. Personally, I have something "on sale" at all times. Could be because I got a great deal on some exotic leathers. Sometimes it's because I 'scored' on some good cow. Sometimes it seems like good marketing. And sometimes just cuz I kin. It's not the same goods, even sometimes one day to the next will be a different thing. It's aimed at the NEW customer, and it's not a deep discount.

dunno -- I sent it back.
