BruceGibson Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 Despite Monkey's attempts to teach me to post pictures I'm still just a link provider. Anyhow, I took on a rifle sling challenge and this is what happened...please feel free to fire away. It's all Hermann Oak with 3/4" sheepskin for the shoulder pad liner. Except for the sheepskin it's an exact copy of a commercial sling the customer had: http://gibsonprorodeo.com/SLING.htm Quote "Don't squat with your spurs on." www.GibsonLeather.com
Ambassador Don101 Posted May 1, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted May 1, 2007 really nice work, nicely burnished edges clean stitching i bet the comercial sling doesnt use the same quality leather and finish though, nice job done it should last him a life time Quote
Contributing Member Regis Posted May 1, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted May 1, 2007 Bruce, Once again, thanks for showing us some great work. I know you made exact copy for client but, would you otherwise make the slot the same? Is there a reasonable way to treat the slot edges? Thank you, Regis Quote God, Family, and Country (although liberals are attempting to destroy these in the USA)
Ambassador abn Posted May 1, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted May 1, 2007 Not much to critique here -- this should be in the Show Off forum, Bruce! Thanks for taking the time to share your photos. Really nice work. And I agree with Don -- with proper care, this sling should last its proud owner a lifetime. Best, -Alex Quote
