howardb Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 Well they'll be a hattin ya again.Thanks all for the kind words. I decided to go ahead and add some color like i originally planed. I wanted it to look a little rough, you know like a old saddle. Anyway i like the way it turned out . I think he'll be more then pleased with it. I also added a little extra feature . You'll have to watch the video to see it. It can't be captured on picture. Not sure we can code you tube videos on these boards so you'll have to click the link Now on to the pictures James !! Dude. PLEASE tell me you are in a guild so you can bring that and enter it next October at the IFOLG show. I have seen some awesome stuff at the show and to me, this ranks right up there (personally, WAY up there). OK, so I'm looking at the plain one and agreeing "yah, just protect it..." I'm not sure, but I think I like the colored one better. Wow. Make me one and just frame it. My initials are BH... :D Brent Quote Brent Howard CALG, HLG
ETW Grumpy Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 The color is awesome. How'd you get that look? Quote

Ambassador freak Posted January 12, 2008 Author Ambassador Report Posted January 12, 2008 Freak, are those Colt Walkers? One of my customers uses Colt Walkers and I made holsters for those monsters. He said Clint used guns like this. I forget which movie he said... Nice Work Freak... nice color toobobcat In the series he uses a Colt 1851 navy-revolver and that what i used. It was converted to cartage, although they never show Blondie being converted. The color is awesome. How'd you get that look? Thanks ! Well it was a hit or miss and i got lucky and hit. I've been playing with the new eco-flo line for some time now. So here goes : I dyed the outer border with Java Br. , the rope Ranger Tan. Then i sealed it with there Super Shene. Which i applied with a DRY sponge. I would hold the sponge over the top of the bottle and shake it up one time. Just enough to get some on the sponge. Then go over the leather but, not all of the leather. I missed a few spots her and there but i made sure i got a good cover over the tooled areas. Once that dried i buffed and then added a good thick coat of the eco-flo antque gel MED Brown. Which i applied with a dry white shirt and wiped off with paper towels. Once that was dry i sealed it with the super shene again. This time dabbing the sponge instead of wiping it across. Then buffed and buffed. Then i added a coat of fiebing's Leatehr Balm w/atom wax, buffed . Then a coat of Tan-kote and buffed. The inside was just the Java Br then used a stitch grover and then finished the same way as the rest. I'm terrible and writing out instructions , i hope you can follow that.

Ambassador freak Posted January 12, 2008 Author Ambassador Report Posted January 12, 2008 Oh one more thing , If you saw the video i linked. My Mom gave me one of those music cards for my b-day last Nov that was a Eastwood one with the theme song. Funny how life works. So i stopped today and picked up one of those cards . Cut the little music board out and just sled it in under the two pockets. Works great and he can take it out when and if it gets old. Quote It takes more then one freak to have a true freakshow.
