Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted October 21, 2008 Members Report Posted October 21, 2008 Hey folks. I got a request to make a complete carry rig w/ a matching belt (which is a first for me), so I thought I would post some pics of this one for fun. All black, W&C leather and Ostrich quill bump accents for a Kimber Raptor 5". Quote
Billsotx Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 Well that raptor won't have it's head in the sand ... Jeffe! Nice piece of work! Quote
Members BradB Posted October 21, 2008 Members Report Posted October 21, 2008 Nicely done!! Was that all hand stitched or did you use a machine? Quote
Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted October 21, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 21, 2008 Thanks fellas. BradB, it was stitched with an Artisan Toro 3000 (and a lot of love ). Quote

Members paris3200 Posted October 22, 2008 Members Report Posted October 22, 2008 Am I mistaken or is the sweat shield smooth leather on both sides? Quote http://www.parisleatherworks.com
Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted October 22, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 22, 2008 It's actually the "rough" flesh side of a sanded and pasted W&C hide, but it smooths out beautifully. I do actually use smooth in on the sweat shields for all of my pancake holsters, but it would get way to time consuming and therefore cost preventative for me to make the smooth in avenger style holsters (I used to make exotics with smooth lining, but they were already expensive and time consuming anyhow). Thanks everybody for the nice compliments. Quote
