Members Josh Ashman Posted February 24, 2016 Members Report Posted February 24, 2016 Customer wanted this to look similar to an old A. W. Brill holster. This is what I came up with. 8/9 HO front, 4/5 HO liner, Fiebings mahogany liquid acrylic after a good coat of NF oil. Topped with 50/50 mop&glo/water. All the best, Josh Quote

Members RickHodges Posted February 24, 2016 Members Report Posted February 24, 2016 Now that is a thing of beauty. Would love to see the N frame in it. Very nice indeed. Quote

Members Josh Ashman Posted February 24, 2016 Author Members Report Posted February 24, 2016 Thanks JLS! Rick, I'd like to oblige if I just had an N frame! I had the customer make a tracing, Stohlman Holster book style, and built the holster to match that. It'd never work for a boned holster but I've done it numerous times on western style holsters with good success. I'll see if I can get the customer to send me some pics then I'll post them. All the best, Josh Quote

Members Josh Ashman Posted February 26, 2016 Author Members Report Posted February 26, 2016 Thanks folks! Hopefully I can get some pictures with the pistol in it. Have a great Friday and weekend! Quote
Members Steve75 Posted February 27, 2016 Members Report Posted February 27, 2016 Nicely executed-the tooling is beautiful. Kudos on the creative way you solved the pattern making process by having the customer make a tracing of the revolver Stohlman style.
