More Western Holsters

[Frank]

Thank you Sir.

Do you hand or machine stitch? Extremely neat work either way!

[Logans Leather]

Very nice work. You capture the feel of the old style holsters better than most.

[Frank]

Thanks very much. I hand stitch all of my holsters except for pancake holsters and I machine stitch all of my belts. Call it odd but I get a certain amount of satisfaction from hand stitching. Not to mention, it keeps me in practice and breaks up the monotony.

They all look very very nice. I have a question on the belt. the dye work you have done throughout all of these are very rich in color and even. I noted on the inside of the belt, although not lined, its fairly dark, but doesnt look stained or dyed. Natural veg tan is so much lighter. how did you get this effect or is it the type of leather you ordered from? just looks so nice.

That is all drum-dyed skirting leather from Wickett & Craig. I buy 8-10 ounce and 10-12 ounce sides. As long as they are not split, they have the nice dyed flesh side.

Very nice, may have to look into that, Im a newbie in comparison, and have been asked to do a few more holsters, this just looks so nice, might need to inquire. thanks for your post.

Impressed with your innovative stamp combinations. They all look excellent.

Thanks again. I never know what I am going to do when it comes to tooling the holster. I just start going and see where I end up. It's nice to do some different stuff once in a while. I just grab a handful from the tool block and set them in a caddy. I pick up whatever looks like it will work at the time.
