Members ChuckBurrows Posted March 27, 2008 Members Report Posted March 27, 2008 Here's a Sunday go to meeting rig or if you're a Texan a BB-Q rig.... The knife, hand-forged and built by the late Gib Guignard aka CactusForge, with a sheath by me, aka Wild Rose Trading = CactusRose 21 The knife in the sheath... View of entire rig - 1... View of rig view - 2... The belt only view - 1... The belt only view - 2... Here's one of the pistol the rig was built for... The rig was inspired by the fancy rigs worn by Texas Rangers in the 1920-30's. The owner didn't want that fancy though, so I came up with a carving pattern inspired by the carving on 18th Century American Long Rifles, built in Pennsylvania where the owner hails from. The holster, knife sheath, and the belt are all lined with calfskin and the rig is entirely handsewn. The metal throat on the sheath is nickel silver to match the knife's fittings and the small concho is Sterling silver. All parts are lightly aged.... Quote Wild Rose Trading Company Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
Members Hilborne Posted March 27, 2008 Members Report Posted March 27, 2008 I lurk on the forum alot and probably should butt in more often. A lot of top notch things posted here, but for some reason this one brings a tear to my eye. This is really nice. If you have some more work to post, I'll sure look at it. Thanks for posting.

Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted March 27, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted March 27, 2008 I can't stop looking at it either, that is one VERY beautiful looking rig. Is it the photography, or is it really that color? if so, what color is that? Ken Quote Beaverslayer Custom Leather<br />Wearable Works of Art https://www.facebook...erCustomLeather
