Hammered this out this weekend.

Clive, can't thank you enough for the time you put into your response. I appreciate you putting it into plain language as well. Thanks bud!

I'm looking for assistance with background changes with Gimp software. Someone on Facebook did this but didn't share how they did it. The white background is the original file and the black background is what I want to be able to do.

Thank you! It was definitely time consuming and required a good bit of concentration. I didn't even bother taking a picture of the inside. Not much to it, just a solid piece of lining. Don't recommend using pig skin lining as it's really soft and rolls and wrinkles under an edge beveler.

Thank you! I was originally thinking of doing the letter B inverted and dyeing it. I like the "less is more" look on this. Thank you! Thank you!

Fresh off the bench is this hand carved photo album. It has been hand carved and tooled in the Sheridan Style floral design. The background has been dyed chocolate brown and has a mahogany antique finish. Additionally, the 3-ring spine has been attached using cross conchos.

Most of them are super glued on. Just wouldn't stick to the orange one.

Finished this order up a few days ago. The 229 holster has a Legion grip medallion inserted and the 226 has a hand carved Legion symbol.

I think it's a mix between hand carving and laser on the designs. Maybe the artwork is transferred to the leather with a laser, and some of it gets tooled. I don't think someone is doing it with stamps or transfer film.

So I had someone contact me, a d was very specific on his needs. Here's the part about him wanting a softer than normal holster: "I want it lined with suede or some soft material,so as not to take the finish off at the tip espically. Thanks I don't care about anything fancy. I don't like a holster that is stiff and won't bend can you help?" Not sure about the flexibility part. Once it's glued and wet molded, it's gonna be stiff. Any ideas?

I'll have to try and get them on a document. Hard to explain without pictures for reference.

That section I cut out was beyond being able to use again. The cut wound up being angle more than I wanted. Must've been that crappy hand saw I used.

So, finished this earlier in the week. This is for a S&W 686 6-shot 2.5 inch. If anyone has tried making one of these before, you probably know that it's very difficult, if not impossible to find a mold for the 2.5 inch. I wound up chopping a 4 inch Blue Gun down for this. I also want to give credit to JLS for his instructions on how to make Avenger patterns. His instructions are well written and easy to follow. I've got my own method for figuring out my stitch lines, but otherwise, a very good place to start.

A little something outside my normal 1911 work. This is an Avenger styled holster for a Smith and Wesson 686 with a 2.5 inch barrel. It was designed with a 15 degree forward cant. It has been hand crafted from 7/8 ounce top grain steer hide from the Hermann Oak Leather Co.

Looking for a Duncan's 686 2.5inch mold. I realize we have a tool section on the forum, but figured this would get more eyes on. Thanks! Please text or call 910-333-5529 if ya got one. Willing to buy or rent. Jason

Those prints look really good. I'm unfamiliar with the process though. I noticed these aren't molded. Is that by choice or can these not be wet molded?

Just finished me a new holster for my Shield 9. Pattern by JLS. Sorry for a double post, but I also put this in the "show off" section.

Been a while since I've posted here. I just finished this holster for my own personal EDC. It's made from 7/8 ounce Hermann Oak, dyed with Fiebing's Pro Chocolate dye and accented with embossed tan ostrich. The pattern is from JLS.

Yes ma'am. It is a wooden letter that is already painted black from Hobby Lobby. I traced the letter onto the leather, cut it out, trimmed down 3/16", tooled and glued to the wooden letter.

Tooled this up the other day. Bought the wooden letter at Hobby Lobby. The tooling pattern is one of Tandy's Sheridan belt patterns. Backgrounding dyed black, oiled with olive oil, Sheridan brown antique, resisted and finished with RTC.

Thanks!
