Members Dwight Posted November 13, 2014 Members Report Posted November 13, 2014 The three scabbards I've made... Brushpopper, . . . I don't use a scabbard like this, . . . so I have to ask the question: how do you secure the scabbard to the very left if you want to use it with your horse? The other two I figured out as there are loops for leather straps. But the one on the left is plain, . . . just need some guidance. And before I forget, . . . yes, . . . they are beautiful. The tooling patterns are definitely unique. Thanks, may God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

Members Brushpopper Posted November 13, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Thanks, pards. Dwight - there are occasional examples from the period of scabbards that have sling retainers only on the back. The aim is to not interfere with the tooling. For an example, have a look at page 91 of Cowboys and The Trappings of the Old West. Edited November 13, 2014 by Brushpopper Quote

I thought maybe that may be the deal, . . . but sometimes the obvious is not the right answer. When I made Tony's earlier this year, . . . I messed up the first one (punched a hole in the wrong place), . . . so I have a piece of leather hanging and waiting for me to decide to make mine, . . . and I just may do some tooling on it, . . . but it surely won't be as intricate as yours. Maybe a rose up at the top,.............. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.
