Recent holster

[doubleh]

Recent as in February of this year. I made the pattern and combined some of Al Stolman's and another's floral patterns plus drawing in some things to fill the corners to get this. Herman's 8-9 oz oak with a soft leather lining and right hand cross draw. Handstitched too. It's gun friendly as it will fit a single six, wrangler, or rough rider with a 4 1/2" barrel.

That is NICE !!!!!  May I ask what kind of background tool did you use ?

[dikman]

Very well executed.

Nice job, hand stitch job is excellent.

Sweet! Like the carving and tooling. Hand stitching is very even and well done!

Well done.  I really like the natural look.

There were three tools used, all with the same size bottom pattern. All were craft tools from Tandy that I have used for many years and have forgotten the numbers of. One is a retangle shape for the larger spaces and the others were the same tool with a round nose and tapered tail. I ground one of them thinner and shorter to get into smaller places. I seldom dye a holster but will sometimes use Fiebing's tan antiquing paste to highlight one.

Thanks to all for the kind words.
