Thanks, Tom. I more or less copied those from originals I found photos of in Packing Iron. They're close but not replicas. The left one is reversed from a right strong side. I had to make the two stamps to make that fern pattern and another one for the running chevron pattern on the other one. The dyes were made from pecan hulls (the left one) and English walnut hulls (the right one). Thanks to Chuck Burrows for the recipe for natural dyes. Here's another one along the same vein done with Chuck's recipe for vinegaroon black.

Thanks, Drac. Here's a pic of a pair of holsters I made recently for my own CAS rig. The basic pattern is the same and they feel exactly the same but I wanted them to look like they came from different places and someone tried to match them as best possible. I wear them on crossed belts, one on a plain leather belt and the other on a canvas cartridge belt.

Thanks, Tom. I'll start looking around. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Howdy. I'm new to this forum. I haven't had a chance to look around much but will do so. I just found my way to this forum by the recommendation of one of the members here who I respect on another forum. I've been doing mostly western and historical stuff but am interested in all things leather. I'll look in now and then and see how it goes. MW
