SO I was wrong. I get a very similar texture from using a terra cotta foot scrubber that I found at World Market.
How did you get the black dye to lay only where it is? Im still trying to get that part figured out.
I use the stamps for the background just as TwinOaks suggested. I stamp, turn the tool, stamp again while overlapping and continue this way. I have found many Firefighter's perfer the textured look on thier fire helmet shields.
For the first holster, I don't mask off anything. I really should I guess but i just use various detail brushes AFTER I use the antique technique. The second holster is exactley how TwinOaks stated.

That is just awesome!

Mr. Big O, the right tab is a little higher for what the customer wanting as so the pistol rides at an angle for her preference. And the stitching, now that you pointed that out, yeah it could've gone closer to the trigger guard. But thank you for the compliment on the tooling. Thestamps used for the background or 'textured' effect are the E294-03 Craftool and the E294 Craftool. One is larger than the other. The border stamp used is I believe the C453 Camouflage from Craftool. I THINK.......

My dad had asked if I could try and see if I could do a left handed holster for his Glock 22. So I did and showed it to a friend of mine who works PD. He wanted one for his wifes revolver. Now remember, these are my first attempts. Please let me know what I need to work on. I know the sewing isn't all that great but I'm working on it. They were both pleased but I sure as heck wasn't. Comments are more than welcomed.....
On this one, I redid the dye on the Fernandez so it shows better than this picture...

I have been looking for this stamp for quite some time and have been told that it is discontinued. It is a Firefighter Maltese Cross stamp with the letters "FD" in the middle. If anyone knows where one is, could you please contact me? Thank you.

Sorry bout that.........

THANK YOU. It's just 'Folk Art' PLAID 660 Met. Pure Gold acrylic paint. The pic doesn't do it justice. Looks real good in person. But I was thinking of using some fake gold leave you could purchase from Hobby Lobby next time to see how that works.

Here's another shield I did for a guy who attended UT.....let me know what you think......

Chris, the die you made me for the shields is great! I can't say enough about the craftsmanship you put into it. It has worked flawless and if I ever need another one done, you'll be the one I call! Great product and the guy is a top notch individual who takes pride in his products. Well worth it.

This was a request from a fellow Brother firefighter that is really in to fishing. No, really. He really is in to fishing! LoL Anyways, this was my first attempt at figure carving. I decided to 'google' a bass fish jumping and found a nice black an white pic to copy off of. Please let me know what ya'll think.

THANKS for the compliment!!! I've been getting a lil better with time and just finished my first figure carved shield for a Brother firefighter. Will post pics tomorrow. If anyone knows a firefighter who wants one, I charge $50. I know other places charge more but I enjoy doing these and am not looking to get rich building them. Thanks again!
