rickybobby Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Just finished this saddle scabbard this week, veg tan 12/13oz Wet formed to the rifle/scope The customer wanted full protection from brush and trees. This was a fun project and used a huge piece of leather. I made a full paper patern (several of them) before transfering it to leather and cutting it out! Critiques always welcome, I try to improve by taking your advice. Thanks for looking! Rick J. The dye marks under the flap came off with some solvent! R.J.

MADMAX22 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 Very nicely done, great choice of liner color as well. Quote

Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted September 21, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted September 21, 2009 Nice looking rifle scabbard...the only change i would have made is with the way the strap on the flap closier is attached on the inside. the Rivetts and Stock dont look too compatible.. Quote
Members bran7347 Posted September 21, 2009 Members Report Posted September 21, 2009 Looks great Ricky! Quote
Members dbusarow Posted September 21, 2009 Members Report Posted September 21, 2009 I love the green liner. And the overall color ain't too shabby either. Question on the stitching, do you have a special setup to do the double stitch lines or is that two passes on a normal machine? Thanks, Dan Quote
Members medicdave Posted September 22, 2009 Members Report Posted September 22, 2009 Looks as nice as the Weatherby riding in it. Quote

Luke, Thanks for the input on that, I need to come up with a better "closure" system. If you look close the rivets are protected on the upper flap above the bolt. But I agree, something needs to be different, I am not sure how yet. Thanks, Rick Quote
rickybobby Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Posted September 22, 2009 Rick, Good looking rig Rick! I like it! Bobby Thanks Bobby, I did this at Ben's for Bruce, he did not want to tackle the job, he stayed as far away as possible while I was laying it out and sewing it! It is nice to get a call from him to go in to his shop and do something special. I still want to stop in to your shop and meet you! Thanks for looking, Rick I love the green liner. And the overall color ain't too shabby either. Question on the stitching, do you have a special setup to do the double stitch lines or is that two passes on a normal machine? Thanks, Dan Dan, That is 2 passes on the machine, I stitch groove both so I have a good line to follow. This one was a challenge because of its size, I needed someone on the other end to hold it up while stitching. Thanks for looking, Rick Looks as nice as the Weatherby riding in it. I have to say this was a really nice gun/scope. You can see the fleas on a deer at 200 yards! I did another scabbard like this for the same gun, only it was "camo" I normally do not like a rifle with a synthetic stock but this was nice. Weatherby makes a fine rifle! Rick Quote
