Browning Buckmark Holster

[stu925]

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.

That looks so nice.  You did a fine job!

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,

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.

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.
