  1. That’s actually untreated.
  2. Latest creation. Holster for a Ruger SBH with 10.5” barrel that attaches to my custom chest rig/harness. Made from crazy horse leather, lined with veg-tan leather, and rattlesnake inlay.
  3. Well done! I enjoyed it very much and really dig your shop setting.
  4. Thank you for the nice words!
  5. Well I can see why 'you haven't posted in a while'...you've been busy! And you are seriously talented. Great work on all!
  6. I was commissioned to build this for a repeat customer. All three were made with ostrich embossed leather. The main parts of the sling and cuff have a piece of 5 oz veg-tan between the ostrich and a suede lining. This was for a 375 H&H.

    Outstanding!
  8. Thanks everyone! I order the skins off Etsy for those who are curious.
  9. Such a tough topic to agree on and I think ultimately you'll have to find your balance between cost to produce and what your specific clientele will pay. I always start my pricing strategy with this formula. (Cost of materials + labor) x 1.25% (profit). So if my materials cost me 50 and it took me two hours (pay myself $20/hour), then my base is $90. Add in 25% profit and my minimum to charge is $112.50. From there I can adjust as needed and I can also tell immediately if this specific item is something I want to dive into as a permanent listing. Meaning, if $112.50 is what I need to charge for something to keep all metrics happy, but the market says it's a $25 item, then I scrap the idea and move on. Good luck!
  10. Very nice work!
  11. Outstanding work!
  12. Seems rare these days that I have time to make something for myself but glad I hit the pause button on my custom orders to make myself a strap for my bass guitar. It's very similar to another one I posted awhile back, with a few minor changes. This one is two pieces of 4/5 veg-tan with rattlesnake inlay. Dyed dark brown with black trim.
  13. Serious skills. Stunning work!
