I like something that doesn't shift around when it's used. I've made all mine by doing a simple double wrap but I like the look of yours better. Very nice job, pard. Here's what mine look like. At least until I need another one, now. Even these had a tendency to slide around the lever until I started with one loop around the trigger guard area. Nice 73,😍 I love lever guns. They are just cool all over. I am green with envy, all I got is an old trapdoor Springfield lol. Thank you, I have braided about five times, mostly round hat bands. But I figured out it's in the prep work, like most things, edging, and beveling a piece of 4 oz is a pain lol, but worth it. 1/4" strap of 4 oz, bevel and burnish the skin side first, then skive the flesh side edges. 17 hours ago, wizard of tragacanth said: A handsome piece of work there, Chuck.

Thanks. I also love lever guns. When I was a kid and my dad took me down to get my first hunting rifle, I chose a Winchester Model 94. Used, of course, but a great rifle. As to your wrap, I figured something like that might be the case. A bit of up front work sure makes the difference. Quote
