The stitching isn't really that close to the edge it just looks like it because after I stitch I run down the edges with a #2 edger and it bevels it out nicely and gives a nice rounded edge to burnish. The leather is 7-8 oz veg tan, the dye is a blend of feibings mahogany and light tan. I like to mix the darker dies with the light tan, I think it makes it a little easier to get the color even while doing multiple coats. The thread is just waxed nylon that I have had for forever. Sorry I forgot to take pictures of the back

Haven't had much time in the shop this summer but I did get a request for a holster for a GP 100 match revolver last week.

I had a guy from work bring this knife and sheath to me to see if I could fix it..... I told him it would be easier and cheaper for me to just make him a new one and he was ok with that idea. I just finished it last night and am pretty happy with how it turned out.

Since her birthday is only a couple of days before Valentines I can usually get away with lumping them both together and giving one larger/nicer gift. This year since her old purse one was falling apart and she couldn't seem to find one she liked I built her a new one exactly how she wanted. The color on the flap seemed streaky at first but has smoothed out as she has used it.

I figure I have been lurking for long enough and I should post a couple pictures of holsters I finished for a customer and his son last week. I am still working on getting my coloring consistent but I like how these turned out. Just want to say that you guys are seriously talented and have set a very high standard to achieve. Any critique of the holsters is appreciated.
