Members Josh Ashman Posted February 25, 2015 Members Report Posted February 25, 2015 Jim shared some old California style floral patters a while back and I decided to try one out on a 1911 holster I was making. It's 8oz HO finished with NF, Fiebings liquid brown antique and topped with M&G cut to 50% with water. Thanks for looking! Josh Quote

Members Jim Posted February 27, 2015 Members Report Posted February 27, 2015 WOW! I'm giggling like a school kid with a ice cream cone. That came out far past my expectation of what the design would look like on leather. You do amazing work. Thank you so much for sharing this. WOW! Jim Quote
Members Steve75 Posted February 28, 2015 Members Report Posted February 28, 2015 Nicely done. Where can I find the patterns? Quote

Members Josh Ashman Posted March 2, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 2, 2015 Thank you very much Jim! And, thank you again for posting the floral designs! Camano beat me to it Steve As for the holster pattern, it's just a simple folded type. I'll try to get it scanned and post it. Josh Quote
Members Treed Posted March 3, 2015 Members Report Posted March 3, 2015 Great job, love the tooling Quote
Members Josh Ashman Posted March 4, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks Bobby! Holster pattern.pdf Here is a scanned copy of the pattern I used for this holster. The tooling design is pretty rough I just lightly traced it all around when I made the pattern. To keep it all nice and neat I only transferred the outside lines to the leather then I cut them with a swivel knife and used a compass to scribe the inside lines. I also used a straight edge to make the flower lines all straight and true through the center. This fits a 5" 1911 but it'd be easy enough to modify to fit anything you like. Have a good day!

Members Josh Ashman Posted March 5, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 5, 2015 You're welcome Steve! it didn't scan real well, but hopefully it's clear enough to get the general idea. Take care, Josh Quote
