Billsotx Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) Xmas presents that Santa delivered to the M T pockets of some of my old collegues. Johanna, glad we have our sanity back. Good job! Happy New Year to you and your heros. Clay told me y'all were burning the night oil, so I just laid low. Looks like the profile thing works ok. I'll head off to surf around. 'til later, ~Bill Edited January 15, 2008 by Johanna fixed pics~J Quote
Members CitizenKate Posted January 6, 2008 Members Report Posted January 6, 2008 Hey Bill, are those made with double-splits? Kate Quote
Billsotx Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Posted January 6, 2008 #1 is WC cowhide with a brit tan split, #2 (black) is horsehide, #3 is HO cow, the mouth bands are horsehide. I'm queer for rough-out cowhide and so are most who commission my stuff. Quote
esantoro Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Hi Bill, Nice holsters. What did you use for a creaser on the black holster? ed Quote
Roger Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 nice bill! i don't recall seeing rough-out holsters before Quote
Billsotx Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Posted January 7, 2008 A piece of whitetail antler Ed and an aluminum rod rounded on the ends. I've got a dozen or so pieces of antler on the bench with different configurations cut, filed and sanded to shape. Don't know where you live but there'll be drops galore in you've got time to comb the pastures. They're early this year. We were shooting one horned bucks and antler-less trophy bucks on New Year's Day. Gee boss ... you said shoot all the antler-less whitetails I want ... lol! Beezachopper, the rough-out rig, in HO parlance "mossback", was a staff trade mark at Thunder Ranch Texas. Not sure who started it, but I think, Thad Rybka. I just carried it on after they move to the northwest. Sort of an addiction like Leatherworker.net ... lol! Quote
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted January 7, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted January 7, 2008 Very nice Bill. The roughout seems to take to forming better than the other way. Ken Quote
