Members stu925 Posted November 10, 2016 Members Report Posted November 10, 2016 Here's my latest work. This was an order from a guy with a Buckmark with a Red Dot mounted on it. The color is a custom mix to approximate the Cocobolo grips on his gun (dark brown, saddle tan and ox blood). Looks great but I doubt I could reproduce it exactly. Anyway here's some pictures of the completed project. Quote
Members Rohn Posted November 10, 2016 Members Report Posted November 10, 2016 That looks so nice. You did a fine job! Quote Rohn(John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV)
Members Dwight Posted November 10, 2016 Members Report Posted November 10, 2016 Very good looking, . . . I had it in the back of my mind that I'm the only one getting those kind of orders. Mine order was a Buckmark with a scope, . . . basically the same as you did, . . . altogether the welts and the holster were 3/4 of an inch thick. Had to make the stitching holes with my Boss, . . . then hand stitch the thing. BTW, . . . I DO like the color, . . . May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

Members stu925 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Members Report Posted November 10, 2016 Thank you all. Dwight, I did a knife sheath like that right before this too. I'm looking forward to my next non-welted project. What I've been doing is laying out the stitch lines with the chisels and then finishing them with an awl. I've been is driving the awl through with a mallet, that allows me to make sure it's going straight through. Next one I may try chucking the awl blade up in my drill press and use that without turning it on. Stu Quote

Members Eddie Q Posted November 11, 2016 Members Report Posted November 11, 2016 Man, very awesome holster and sure love that color !! Quote
Members stu925 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Members Report Posted November 11, 2016 Thanks for the kind words. I can tell you it was time consuming. Stu Quote
MADMAX22 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Posted November 13, 2016 Good stuff. Gotta love those guns, very accurate right out of the box. Picked one up for the wife a few years ago and thought about making a holster but it looked like a pain. Yours doesnt make it look any easier. Quote
