1911 Set- Pancake And Double Mag

[chiefjason]

Not as many firsts as Particle, but a few. First double mag, first brown dye, and first contrast stitching. I have been wanting to do something like this. But besides just making one and hoping to sell it, I had not gotten the chance. Well, I got a request for a full size 1911 pancake. Then he wanted a mag holster. Then double mags. He wanted chocolate brown to begin with. But I sent him a picture of a hybrid I did with medium brown leather and went with the medium brown. I gave it a more mottled look than solid. Then I talked him into cream stitching. I decided to try leaving the interior natural to see if I could and he liked that too. So here it is. The last coat of finish is drying and it will be in the mail on Friday. I kind of hate to see it go. I really like it. Retention came out pretty tight. So I'll be sending instructions on loosening it up a bit if he chooses too. Comments and critiques are appreciated.

They both look really good for a first attempt at that style. My only true recommendation would be to work on keeping your slots even when using a hole punch and a knife to cut them out. I'd try to edge and burnish them as well.
