Now those are NICE holsters !!

After I apply the sealer ( acrylic resoline ) it still has the blueish tint to it. I'm lost on how to use this stuff. At least with the Angelus black dye the blueish tint disappeared when I applied the finish and it produced the most beautiful shade of black. I bought the eco-flow on a whim just to see if I would like it but so far the vote goes to Angelus as far as I'm concerned. Thanks, Rhome

Ok, I admit I'm having a problem with the Eco-Flow black dye. I've been usuing both my nomal dip the leather in the dye method and am now trying an air brush to apply the dye. The problem i'm having is when I dye the leather it has a very noticeable blue tint to it. How in the world do you get this stuff the nice deep black that I got with the oil dyes and the Angelus dyes ? Thank You, Rhome

Absolutly beautiful Bruce !!

Thank You Bruce, I really enjoy your holsters, you do some awsome work !!!!

Since I did these holsters in vinegaroon I do them all in it, works for me.

Nice looking holster and I agree about the color, I may have to try out that color. Another suggestion if you don't mind. Try and bring the stitch line in a little closer to the trigger guard. This will aid in retention when the leather stretches a little. And other than what Shorts suggested it all looks great. Best, Rhome

Very, very nice work Shorts ! I like the way you placed the rear belt loop also. You have a nice design there, keep up the good work. I also like the color. Best, Rhome

Beautiful work !! how did you hide the stitches on the top portion of the sheath, I like that and am curious. Best, Rhome

Hey Kevin, as usual, outstanding work ! Love that holster design, always have, but that knife case is beautiful. Best, Rhome

Very, very nice holsters. and I like your choices in firearms also !

Wow ! Very nice holster.

Hi Shorts, The short answer to your question is " No ", I have not worn another makers holster. I started making western holsters and converted over to Concealed Carry holsters after a while. I have had the privledge of being tutored by some of the best holster makers in this country IMHO, names such as Gary Brommeland, Kevin at K&D leather, Mark Garrity, and of course Lou Alessi. Their knowledge in holster making is beyond belief IMHO. Best, Rhome

Hi, To be honest with you, I'm not sure. In any case I cement and stitch it to a piece of veg. tanned, and I make sure it never rests on the firearm itself.

Tom, nice job on the holster, looks real good !! You should be very proud. Best, Rhome

I admit I don't know a thing about saddles but those are beautiful.

Hi and thanks, Bruce the cant is 20 deg. And Arts, shark is rather simple to work with, about the only part that gives me problems is when I'm doing the edges, you need to start with a very sharp edger. Other than that it's the cost. But thank you for your comments. Best, Rhome

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in awhile as I've been busy making holsters for the new web site. I thought I'd share some of the latest one's I made for some of the guy's down at my favorite gun store. They all carry Glock's so I made them each one but each one is a little different, comments are always welcome ( good or bad ). Thanks for looking !

Thanks everyone, Well I recieved a nice surprise today. My friend and I went to a gun store in Fresno CA today and was greeted with a warm welcome back from everyone that works there. I was also introduced to a couple of custumers and ended up selling 4 holsters, and to top that off, the manager offered me a wall in the store to hang my holsters for sale. I feel so blessed to have many good friends. I have a feeling that I'll be busy for awhile, and Shorts, I wish nothing but sucsess on your return Stateside. I'm positive you'll do great things and be very busy. Best, Rhome

Very nice !! snap on and off I assume ? I know quite a few people who like that and add your style would make it very popular. Good job. Best, Rhome

Thanks guy's, I'm trying to get back in the saddle so to speak since I've not made anything for over 1.5 years. I need to order more supplies as I'm usuing what I had left over before I went to the Philippines. But anyway thanks for the kind comments. Best, Rhome DGL

Hello all, well I made it back to the U.S. from the Philippines, CA to be exact. Well in between still moving things around and arranging my shop I have managed to make a few prototype holsters that are now being tried out in the field as we speak so I thought I'd share a picture of the with you. I can tell you that after a year and a half it sure feels good to beable to play with leather again. Please excuse the poor quality of the Picture as I still haven't unpacked my photo equip. yet so I took the pic with my daughters camera. Thanks for looking.......

Hi Bruce, nice web site, I just hope mine turns out as well as yours. Oakdale huh ? I'm not that far from you, I'm down in Madera, my parents are in Modesto, it's a small world. If your ever in the area stop by the shop, the coffee's always on. Best, Rhome

Jeff, nice holster design, nice job forming around the trigger guard on that HK, I know they can be a pain to form correctely so from what I can see you did a great job !!! My hats off to you bud. And yeah you should start sedlling holsters for a living Naw just kidding I admire your work !! Best, Rhome And I'm back in the U.S. finally!!!!

Beautiful Belt !!
