Members Thadrick Posted February 16 Members Report Posted February 16 Had a new toy follow me home so had to start a new leather project. I always do a trial holster first to ensure my pattern is good so now that test fit is good I can start a bling bling holster. Quote

The best part of valentines day is when i became single 11 years ago. That 500 will have lots of canvas for tooling on the next holster. 4 hours ago, Bert03241 said: Nice Thanks. Quote
Members DoubleKCustomLeathercraft Posted February 17 Members Report Posted February 17 Bro bringing the big boys to the game. Glad to see you didn't go with a snubby 500. They brake people lol The test got holster looks great. Can't wait to see what bling you're going to bring. I mean that 3 piece buckle set is more bling than I'm used to. Looks like a nice buckle set too Quote I post most of my work on IG now.

I mean that 3 piece buckle set is more bling than I'm used to. Looks like a nice buckle set too I took my first spike with a 500 about 25 years ago when Smith first started making the frame available to the public. I really liked that pistol but I was still young and used it for barter because I was a poor boy. Always wanted another but just can't justify. The picture sucks because my step daughter was running the camera even though she took several pictures of the land owners dog which turned out great. As you can see, I hit about 2" to the right. The processor said the bullet lodged in the front shoulder so I lost a lot of meat because of it. My friend at work has an unported snub nose 500 that his father left him and it really makes the hand sting! I'm sure at $5.00 a shell I won't be spending a lot of time shooting it anyhow. Oh, the buckle is a used buckle I have been looking for a place to use it. Quote

CFM chuck123wapati Posted Friday at 11:27 AM CFM Report Posted Friday at 11:27 AM Wow, that's really nice. Is that finish just antique on natural? What weight leathers?

What weight leathers? I used light brown antique for the main color and dark brown antique for the contrast. I used dark brown die for the bullet loops but the oil darkened it even more (pictures make it look black). The holster is 8-9 oz veg tanned outside layer and 4-6 oz veg tanned inside (dark brown dye). The belt is 8-9 oz veg tanned with 3-4 oz suede inside layer. The bullet loops are 3-4 oz veg tanned.
