I think so, mouths can be tricky too sometimes

Thank you, the eyes are what I try to focus on most, they are the most important I think. They are the first thing you would notice if they were wrong for sure haha

Thanks @chuck123wapati and @DocReaper I appreciate it

Yeah, she was only 18 months old. Was fine one day and the next she was real lethargic and not herself. Ended up being kidney failure and they had no warning or signs there was a problem. It was only 3 days from noticing she wasn't well to having to put her down.

My friend had to put his dog down so I made this as a little memento, figure carving and coloring are 2 areas i feel i need work in, so at least its good practice.

It has been mentioned, but tx custom dies has one that a lot of holster makers like. It's on my list of goodies to get. I have an osborn, but sadly it isnt very good quality and is also a bit narrow. For a 1.5" wide .25 thick belt, a 5/16 x 1.75 oblong punch is about perfect. I hand cut mine to this. I believe tx cust dies is about these dimensions also.

That is true, if It was mine I would probably do that

Haha, thanks. I personally like no accessories. Maybe a red dot or something would be ok.

Thanks, it was fun to make and hes happy with it, so its a win for me haha

Had a customer send me this photo of the holster and double mag pouch i built him. His dept. hosts a rodeo every year and they are alowed to use personal gear, so he wanted something that stood out. Im glad he chose mahogany... I think it pops.

Thanks!

Thanks. I need smaller tools but it came out ok I think. It was fun. It's simple too, which i like from time to time. Can be knocked out in a day.

The sept/Oct issue of the learher crafter's journal had this neat little sheath by Gabor Pinter. I thought I'd have a go at it.

They are for attaching a powder horn. I dont have one or id stick it on there. The left strap gets stitched around the staple on the horn plug (big end) and the other strap gets looped and stitched around the spout end. This secures the horn to the bag

This was a different project for me. Ive always every to make a shooting bag just for the fun of it. I finally got around to it. I got creative in trying to make it appear aged. It was kind of nice not having to worry much about being perfect on a project. The rough edges and things add to the effect.
