Sheridan-style carving

[Lobo]

Hello, all. I am a holster maker, and I have a couple of customers interested in hand-carved holsters in the Sheridan style (floral, leaves). I do not do any carving, so in order to meet these requests I need a collaborator for the project.

If this works out well, I might add the carved pieces to my regular offerings. So it is possible that there might be regular orders.

If interested, please send a PM with your e-mail address. I will send a photo of an original piece showing the pattern desired. Then you can give me a price quote to duplicate the style.

I would appreciate a photo or two of your work. I will be happy to send photos of some of my work so that you may see how your work would be displayed.

If we come to an agreement, I would cut the holster pieces then send to you for carving. When finished, you can send back to me for completion of the project. Initial contract would probably be for one or two items and, if that works out, we might do several at a time.

The carver will be given full credit for the work, and may stamp or sign each piece on the back side for recognition. I will also stamp the holsters with my trademark on the back side.

I look forward to hearing from accomplished artisans.

Thanks to all who have followed through.

I'm a professional tooler and stamp sheridan style or several other styles. I would be glad to send you pictures but prefer to mail them (we live in the country and have slow dial-up Internet.) If you are interested please email me your name, phone number and mailing address.

Thank you,

Carey Blanchard
