Hilborne Report post Posted February 24, 2008 Don, Thanks for posting the pictures, I got involved here just prior to the crash and got lost in the shuffle so I haven't seen this work. I'm sure you will generate quite a few hits. I like them all. Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jetech Report post Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) Thanks Don. They are great inspiration. How did you finish the scabbard? I finished a holster with the Tandy one step stuff and don't like how it looks. I am looking for a golden to rust colored finish for a shoulder holster that I am working on.

Warren Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Don, I had seen them before and enjoyed seeing them again! As a matter of fact I see them on a fairly regular basis, as I saved them to my computer before the crash and they are used as part of my screen-saver. I have over 100 pictures of authentic old west gun leather that make up my screen-saver. Your work is awesome and stands up to anyone else's I've seen. Always a pleasure to look at your work!

Warren Report post Posted February 26, 2008 It would depend on what you call inexpensive. I have seen non-firing replica guns for about 60-75 dollars. Warren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timbo Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Don, all your stuff looks great, you just can't do bad work. One question though, where did you get the tooling pattern for the rifle scabbard?? Is that a Will Ghormley pattern?? I really like the floral tooling on it alot!! Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don101 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Tim i draw all my own patterns from pics of the originals or from original items, and the scabbard did take a bit of time as it is carved boath sides, Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
