  1. Bountyhunter close but no cigar. I take the top piece and cut the hole. Then I do all the carving or stamping and dye the the piece. Next I cut my piece of inlaid and glue it inside and sew the inlaid and top piece. The reason I sew it now is so there are no stitches on the inside to wear or be seen on the finished product. Last I glue the lining in and finish sewing it all around.KT

  2. Here is a holster I have been working on for my mother-in-law's cousin to mount on the side of his Harley ElectraGlide trike to keep his folding walking cane close by. Previously, he had to store it in the trunk which meant walking from the back of the bike to mount it while trying to balance using various points on the bike.

    This allows him to walk right up and holster the cane next to where he gets on & off making life much easier and safer. It's made from 6oz. W&C veg-tan with 1.5 oz. pig black skin lining. The welt is 1.5" wide at the top and tapers to 0 about 1/2 way down the holster. As you can see in one of the pics, the cane has a carved silver dragon handle so I tooled a tattoo style Japanese Wind dragon motif on the side. I also custom made & polished the mounting brackets from 1/8" thick aluminum plate and kydex to enable it to mount high enough by using the factory grab rails on the passenger seat and an existing bolt location for the left fender at the bottom. The upper bracket is 2 pieces, the kydex clips onto the chrome grab rail similar to a belt clip and then bolts to the aluminum bracket via three 1/4" screw posts. Here are some pics of the piece installed one of the undyed tooling to show the detail better and one showing the comparison of it next to a normal sized holster...enjoy!
