Rifle Sling Off The Bench

[Chief31794]

Just finished this for a customer in Texas. She wanted her wedding date and her and her husband's initials with a Plus sign below the carving and basket weave. This was made using the template from Black River Laser. I designed the template and Joyce started selling them some time ago, I get quite a few orders for these, lots of wedding parties where the groom gives them to the groomsmen.

Any way, no lacing on this just cutting, punching, carving, oiling and dying (plus skiving the ends to make them fold better).

I like how the belt has that two tone colour.

[thefanninator]

Very tasteful, not busy or gaudy.

What are those staples called that hold your keeper together, and where can I get them?

What kind of weave stamp is that?

The dye job looks great, nice tooling too.

Colt,

Thanks, the keeper is from Springfield Leather Company, they have a machine that puts the staples in. When I make my own, I sew them as shown in this picture. The stamp is a Barry King Angled Basket Weave Stamp.

Thanks,

Chief
