Lobo Report post Posted February 14, 2012 Mr. Customer wanted a full flap field holster for his 4" S&W Kit Gun .22 revolver, complete with full coverage Sheridan style floral carving. My very talented carver applied his best skills, and my assistant did a tremendous job on the edges and finishing work. Old Lobo did the basic assembly, lining, and fitting. Finish requested was a medium oiled tan. Carved pieces tend to absorb neatsfoot oil more readily than might be expected, so multiple light coats are better than any quicky approach. Edges are dyed dark brown, then burnished on a hard felt wheel with my wax mixture (50-50 paraffin and beeswax). It is difficult to do justice to the carver's artwork with photography. You have to hold a piece like this in your hand to fully appreciate the work. I am very pleased with this one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

malabar Report post Posted February 14, 2012 Stunning! Beautiful carving on a top-flight holster. The kit gun is a fine little gun and this makes a superb home for it. tk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
