Holster heading out

[SouthernHolsters]

Here is a holster packed and ready to be shipped out to an officer coming back from Iraq in a couple of weeks. He ordered so it wold be there when he got home. It's for a full size railed 1911. I had fun with this one as the outcome reminds me of a fossil. The black is dye, not paint, which made it stand out.

Hope you enjoy it.

Wow! This is really nice. I'm sure the customer will like it. It's a shame to make it so nice and then stick in your pants.

That is really nice!

Excellent work! I love that background tool. It is my favorite. Nice application using the dye instead of paint!

[ETW Grumpy]

That is a very nice piece. He will be proud to have that one.

Excellent stuff, I agree with fossil tendencies but that's just adding to cool here!

I was just commenting Don's nice classic holsters so this was very nice contrast to that. Couldn't choose from either one if a had to pick a favourite.

Nice job!

Very nice. Really like the style and pattern.

That looks awesome. It would be cool to do something like that for a cell phone belt case.

Wow. Nice work, Tom. How much longer does that take than your normal holsters?

Oh, about 2.5 hrs. If you looked at what I charged him, you would think it took a half hour. :D

[kagekeeper]
