Tequila Report post Posted July 23, 2022 Made this for a friend, “La Sombra” is his SASS alias. Made from 7-8oz HO, I carved his name then backgrounded around it. The leather was left natural, applied a couple of coats of acrylic sealer, then antiqued around his name, finished it off with a coat of leather balm. The cover is lined with black pigskin suede which wraps around the back and under the lacing. And thanks to @bruce johnson for the tips on wet molding the suede it worked beautifully.

PastorBob Report post Posted July 25, 2022 Beautiful pattern on the background. You did a great job carving the letters too. What is the second, parallel stitch line on the back end of the cover? Is it for the liner attachment? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is the second, parallel stitch line on the back end of the cover? Is it for the liner attachment? Yes, the rifle has a crescent shaped butt. I have a cylinder machine which limits me on how far I can go, I guess if I had a post machine I’d be able to go all the way around.
