Very cool...Neat design..
The sap is on my list, with lead shot for the fill.
I might have to take the route that you have and melt down the lead and add as piece of spring steel for a stiffener.
Thanks for sharing!
It might be missing a spring washer at the end of the roller? (Make a leather washer for replacement)
One might try soaking the parts in vinegar for cleanup & rust removal then hammer it with oil.
I like it...Simple & functional...Awesome color!
Looks like the holster should be spun 180 degrees (I know this cant be done) To prevent a sleeve or finger, etc. that wont deflect on the sewn side.
The sewn side should be towards the back in my opinion.
Looks like your strap edges are painted or dyed?
I might try a natural burnish to keep the strap a little cleaner looking.
Maybe even a little bit darker leather for the strap? (This might not even be possible if your using black antique).
Just some ideas.
Your work is Great! BW Stamping is spot on! Love the style / look...It came out real nice!
One of my favorite color combos...This is Perfect...Edges look good, stitching looks fantastic, engraving, etc. Love it!
Someone will be real happy with that!!!!
