Another Holster And Belt

[doubleh]

This is a right hand crossdraw holster and a 2" belt for my Colt Series 70 Gold Cup National Match 1911 pistola. Like the others it's made from 9-10 oz. Herman's Oak leather, lined with horsehide, and hand sewn with waxed nylon thread and finished with Neat Lac. The holster and tooling pattern are from Al Stholman's book. I added about 1/4" to each side of the pattern to allow for the addition of the lining leather and the gun fits perfectly.

Wow that is really beautiful work. I really like the border, and every thing else. You should post the pic with tool #'s for beginners and others to see the way it is done.

That is really nice work.

Outstanding tooling and carving work. I took my first carving class last month and I can really appreciate the time, patience and skill that went into that.

Have you been carving long?

Yes. It's been an off and on thing though.
