That's awesome Hedge. Great work by the two of you.

Thanks much, Butch!

It's fun working together. We each have our particular expertise we can apply to a job.

That's so neat! I really like the applique braid, too.

Thanks, Kate

Yup, I like the way she did the braid. Near as we can tell, that's the original pattern. We spent

a lot of time examining video stills from the movie to get the design right.

Howdy Hedge.

Just caught the picture of your Quigley cartridge belt. Fine piece of craftsmanship.

Cheers.

Thanks, C79. And a howdy back to ya.

We're working on getting better. Myriam's a stickler for doing it right and keeps me on track.

Beautiful job, Hedge and Myriam! The hubby was peeking over my shoulder when I first looked at this - and now he wants one. (I must put a bell on him so he can't sneak up like that. ) He likes everthing on the utlitarian side with little decoration to it, but he really liked the braiding, as do I.

I have used the Fiebings Chocolate and have gotten good results, although there is a definite cherry undertone to it. I just played with some Fiebings Walnut Stain and that is a dark chocolate color with more of a tan undertone to it. Don't know if that is what you are looking for.

Let's see some more!

Thanks, Crystal!

LOL!! The bell is a clever idea.

He wants one, eh? Well all the info is in the pic. Sounds like a nice winter project for a loving wife.

(is he looking over your shoulder?)

Seriously, PM Myriam if you'd like us to help you make it or to make one for him.

We haven't tried the Fiebing's Chocolate. Thought we'd try Angelus because we heard they didn't

have the reddish tint. But that PURPLE (Chocolate) was a shocker. We're still waiting to hear from them about that. The brown looked good though.

Forgot to ask...need some snow? We have loads of it piled up around the place. Just going to waste.

50+ inches so far. Makes things pretty but tough to get to town. We're snow bound until the county

plows the road to our place.

Myriam wanted to get out and do something...cabin fever, methinks. Anyway, she unlimberd the .45,

put a playing card up against a snowbank and proceeded to ventilate the card and snow. Nice to see

a happy woman!

That is a nice gun belt. It seems to have paid off to do the mixing and get that final color. That looks really good.

Thanks Max.

We went through a mess of dyes, trying different mixes until we found what we wanted. Mix a sample, spray it, let it dry, clean the airbrush out and do it again. But, you're right, it does pay off.
