Basketweave Western Rig

Recommended Posts

These were made as a surprise birthday present. I had the guns long enough to make paper outlines then I fit the pistols in when they were picked up. The holsters, belt and billets are 11 oz. HO and the bullet loops are 7 oz. HO. They were dyed (stained?) with Fiebrings black liquid antique and finished with Leather Balm w/Atom Wax. Just FYI, if you use LBwAW over liquid antique you'll wipe quite a bit of the stain off and streak it quite a bit in the process.

Anyway, I'm mostly happy with how these turned out. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking,

Josh

That is verry nice. Be proud and do the dance of the :banana: :banana: . You deserve it. How was the lettering done. Single finger cut with a swivel knife?

Thank you Mike and JW!

Bluesman, thank you and you are correct on the lettering. Just cut with a swivel knife, well, I did also use a "stop" stamp on a few of the ends to clean it up.

Best regards,

Josh
