OR . . . get in the designated "right turn only" lane . . . and use it so they can gun their engine and pull out ahead of you . . . cutting you off . . . 

In a town nearby . . . they have that mess up dead in front of city hall  . . . and if you are in the thru lane  . . . just be careful.

May God bless,

My 2 cents, if it's a molded holster, the only side that could be molded and retain the front stamping would be the back. Leaving it plain would keep the best anesthetics after molding. If it's not to be molded, it could be stamped all around. Personally, if it's an owb not molded or a western style holster, I would probably stamp all of it, otherwise I'd have to rely on molding the back panel for retention and that would destroy any adornment in the end

I'm thinking RVM45 is seeing who will take the bait... being overly dramatic due to of boredom. 

I bet he'll spend time in traffic, now, giggling at the thought of turn signals...

back to the original point, I dont do a LOT of basket stamp, but when I do, I leave the back side of the holster (wearer side) SMOOTH, UNSTAMPED.  Nothing to do with lazy - I want a smooth surface to glue down the belt loop to.

That's the sort of detail that shows the item was truly customized and built with passion. If I were decorating a holster for myself or as a gift, I would put every ounce of love into it that I could squeeze out of my withered little heart. It would be an art piece, secondary only to being functional. But, if I was aiming to hawk holsters at a Friday night expo or some Web shop that literally no one ever checks, nah, I'm not pouring my time into prettying up a piece of it that will never be seen.

They do not hand polish lacquer on the bottom of a dinning room table. Nor do they paint the back side of a portrait. Some makers will, if you want to pay them for it. I am sure if someone wanted a maker to stamp a holster inside, outside, and backside some would happily oblige and bill the their time accordingly.

Not doing what customers will not pay for is not lazy.

It seems to me people are getting too wound up about someone else's work.  If I don't (or do) basket stamp the back of a holster, why does it matter to you unless you are the buyer( or the maker).  If I don't like how you did your work, who cares unless I am your target demographic?  I really am having trouble understanding why this is such a big deal and quite a long running thread.  As usual, JM2C.  Jim

I personally finish the underside of all floorboards before I put them down in the rooms I install them in.  I know, I know, you can't see the underside, but "I" know what's there.  I also tend to sand the inside of boxes to a glass like finish before I cover them with velvet... But it's just me. 

Nah, jk.  I make knives, and you do roughen the tang under the scales to insure a better adhesion of the epoxy, you also rough up the underside of the scales.
