Beautiful work.

I have hunted a number of things all over this country. I have killed them with rifle, pistol, and bow. But I have not "pulled the trigger" on an animal for over twenty years. One has the right to hunt and I will back you.

However, I do not want to turn this site into a photo gallery of all things killed however sporting it may be.

I am a little sad every time I take a life, but I use every bit of the animal I can. My wife and daughters love venison, The local game warden has tanned a few hides for me. My Dad turns 76 in May and we have bow hunted every year since 1981. I'll not argue with anyone about this, but to an animal rights activist, this sight is indeed a photo gallery of all things killed.

Man they look good, great work. Don't be surprised when your shooting buddies start asking you to build rigs for them. There must be a way to stop the squeaking but I'm not sure what it is, I have a chest holster I built to wear while hunting that squeaks like that too so I'd be very interested in how to stop that if anyone has any ideas.

Nice work Otto! neatsfoot oil and use will stop the squeaks but also darken and soften the leather. Put on a light to medium coat and let it soak in then wear it around, repeat if you like but you can overdo it. The oil and sunlight will darken the leather and may even out the different shades of brown. If you put a top coat or sealer on it the oil may not be able to penetrate through, if it won't then time will still do the trick it'll just take more of it.

Again, really nice work!

All the best, Josh

The wife grew up in Arkansas, although we are both from the Great State of Tennessee.

Yes, Otto, death is sad, but it is a part of life, and a part of what we do as leather workers. Our own time will come and our hides aren't worth tanning like the animals we we work with.
