Finished a few of these guys. Well mostly have to redo the strap on one hence why it doesnt have one on it right now.

Anyways 8oz WandC, the standard basket weave is brown and cordovan, the others one is saddle tan and the other light brown. My antiqueing did not come out all that great on the tooling portions. I am really struggling with that part. I was really excited because I finally got some Barry King tools (a few bevelers and a couple of basket stamps) and the bevelers are so very nice when getting that deep looking tooling. They really have the right angle to them. Just couldnt get the antique right to really bring it out.

Ahh well. Other then that I was pretty happy with them for the most part. Any thoughts for improvement are more then welcome.

I'll suck up a little more on this one Max, your slings from earlier posts had inspired me to try my first a while back.

I really like the half basketweave style, keep up the nice work.

Thanks guys,

Eaglestroker I think Dave (DCKNIVES) should get alot of credit, he helped me a bunch when I first started trying to make one. Him and a few others.

Wow. That is some amazing basket weave. Great job. Are the slings from a kit or your own sling design?

Thanks a bunch guys. The slings are something I put together following the input from Dave as mentioned and taking parts and pieces from others designs and this is what I came up with. I refined it a little from the first couple and this is the final version. Granted there are only so many ways to make a rifle sling (or strap since a sling is for the die hards who know really what a rifle sling is as far as a shooting utility and a carrying assistant).
