    Excellent work. I wouldn't want that color but you have to please your customer.

    Very nice. I have been wearing one with that pattern I made over 20 years ago. The tongue end edge burnishing became so frayed I just re-burnished it a couple of weeks ago. I used Herman's oak leather and except for the frayed from use thing it still looked about as good as it did when I finished it.

    I like both the sheath and knife. What holds the turquoise on?

    Nice looking rig. What's the total weight?

    Nice work. I've always preferred ranger style belts. More work to make one but worth it.

    What I think is I would hate to have to wear all that around. Nice work though.

    Hi, again

    doubleh posted a topic in Member Gallery

    I've been a member for a long time but it's been quite sometime since I visited this forum. I decided to come back although I haven't done anything involving leather for a least two years. Tremors have severly messed up my ability to draw and control a swivel knife even with medication. I still like to see other people's efforts though so I decided to come back to do so. Do I get to critique work although I've about given up on doing any?

    I would work on making my background stamping smoother and also your edges. While at it deeper tooling will make you design pop out. I have never used edge dressing. No problem with those that do but I prefer to just get a really good, smooth, burnished edge.

    I'm not interested in stamps but like the swivel knives although I didn't see anything about them on your etsy link. Ordering options?

    I use a bandaid on each little finger and on thick stuff an ordinary pair of pliers to pull the needle.

    Different for sure. I like it.

    Great work. I admire you guys that can do stamp work. I've always done floral carving and doubt I could do stamping.

    A very nice piece of work.

    Katsass said everything I could and probably better than I. +1 on the Al Stholman book. If you need an answer for something concerning leather work Al has a book about it.

    Very nice work.

    Doin' good. I haven't made a holster in a year and a half. Guess I need to go buy another gun to have an excuse.

    The second example is better than the first. Get a copy of Al Stholman's "How To Carve Leather" book. It will tell you everything you need to know to do beautiful work. It's available from S&D Trading Co., Tandy's, and Amazon.

    Good job. That is my favorite belt pattern and I have made several over the years. My son is wearing the last one I made.

    Bee-u-tee-ful. Love Stholman's work. Guy knew what he was doing. Floral carving is what I like and do. Everything else is just stamping. I've seen some very nice stamped leatherwork. Just something I'm not interested in doing.

    Excellent work.

    Hey, that;s cute, both the gun and the rigs.
  22. doubleh
    Nice looking holster. I couldn't do basketweave on a bet. Never really cared for it so I never put any effor forth to learn how.
  23. doubleh
    Excellent work. I really like the jock strap holster.

    You must be retired. I am and understand the need to be busy. My current "something to piddle with" project is making 1911 grips. Some carved, some with inlays, and some just plain. Got a couple of "for me" leatherwork projects planned just as soon as I finish a gunstock I'm building and clean up the huge mess I've created with that. Right after I finish the current set of grips I put aside for the gunstock that is.

    Great work. If I were choosing I would go with the oxblood one. Nothing wrong with the oxblood and black but I just prefer solid color holsters. I used to own a pair of cowboy boots with oxblood bottom and black tops. Boy, I though they were pretty and loved them but that's boots and not holsters.
