Timbo Report post Posted November 9, 2008 Here are some pics of a rifle scabbard I made for one of my trail ride clients from this past summer. It is to commemorate his trip to the mountains in which they camped and trail rode in the mountains for 3 days and then white water rafted for 2 days. The top of the scabbard are his brand: Initials GJG The next panel is the horse shoe and crossed padels Then next are the names of himself his wife and 2 friends that were on the trip Next panel is a mountain scene with the dates of the trip Next is a map of the Arkansas River as it flows thru Browns Canyon......one of the stretches they rafted. The very bottom is my signature. It was a very long drawn out process........but I think it came out very well. ........and boy am I glad it is done!!!!!!! One other thing is..........this will never be used on a horse or saddle.........it is made to hang on the wall, hence the hangers on the straps. He is going to use it to display his 1873 Winchester long rifle. Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Locknut Report post Posted November 13, 2008 Timbo, What a great idea, putting the map on it and commererating the whole trip. And the rustic look is very impressive. Wish I'de have known you when I needed a scabbard for my cane on my motorcycle. I made one I'll have to show you sometime. Not nearly as good as yours, though. Great job!
