CowboyCurry Report post Posted September 3, 2017 Found this Al Stohlman holster craftaid buried in a box someone gave me. Decided to give it a try and practice my tooling. Pattern was for a .38 revolver so I used a K-frame S&W Model 10 mold from Bunkhouse Tools. I wanted to try some antiquing gel and went with Med. Brown and hand stitched it just for fun.

Dwight Report post Posted September 3, 2017 I really don't like most of Tandy's craftaids, . . . but that is one I would love to have in my drawer. I would use it at least once a year I am sure. You did an excellent job on that CowboyCurry. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyCurry Report post Posted September 3, 2017 Thank you for the comments. I dont get a lot of customers asking for floral carving, mainly basketstamp or simple boarders. I decided to go through Stohlman's holster book and the F.O. Baird's patterns to practice tooling. Ill see if I can scan this craftaid and make up a PDF for anyone that would like it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RemingtonSteel Report post Posted September 5, 2017 CowboyCurry, Very nice work. Really like the way it turned out. I see you took the basic pattern and made it your own with some cleaver deviations. I wouldn't mind having a copy of that craftaid as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Report post Posted September 6, 2017 Thanks, Cowboy, . . . like I said earlier, . . . not sure how many times I may ever use it, . . . but I'm sure glad I got it. I will definitely do the pattern just for practice though. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used Photoshop to compile these into one pdf, and re-scaled it to what I believe is close to actual size. The pdf fits nicely and will print on an 11x17 inch sheet of paper.
