Hey all,

Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated. I have made a lot of western style holsters but I had a customer ask for a two-tone black holster with a tan bound edge all the way around. Has anyone else ever done something like this before? If so, could you PM me and give me some pointers? I appreciate it much.

Frank, . . . do you have any kind of drawing, . . . sketch, . . . dimensions, . . . etc. I cannot personally understand what you meant by a "tan bound edge all the way around".

Do you mean laced?

Do you mean another piece of leather sewn around the outside like women used to use bias tape on their aprons?

Holler back, . . . we'll help as best we can.

May God bless,

Dwight

Last week I finished the bound edge holster after a little trial and error. I told the customer (who is now a good friend) that I will not make them for anyone else because they are such a pain in the :censored2:. He was so happy with that answer that he ordered another one in reverse colors and said that he would

pay for my A.A. classes if the second one drove me to drinking....more. What a guy!! Here's a photo.

Thanks for all of the compliments. It's the type of holster you really can't mess up on at all. There is very little room for any "cover ups". I'm glad it turned out as well as it did.

Thanks Dennis, I appreciate it. No problem. Maybe it will work for some others on here as well. If anyone needs any tips on making something like this, feel free to PM me. I'm an expert on how to screw it up so you don't!

I was going to quit making holsters until next winter. You've given me an idea that probably won't wait till then. smashcomp.gif I really like it!thumbsup.gif
