Couple of progress pics of two Threepersons style holsters I'm working on this week. One is strong side for a 45/8" Blackhawk, the other is crossdraw for a 6-1/2" Single Six. Both have what I call a San Carlos border. Both are 10/11 HO craftsman.

Nice work! I'm loving that border. I've not yet done a border on both sides of a folded holster. I'll have to give it a go. Can't wait to see it finished.

So much leather...so little time.

Thanks Alpha2! I could never decide where to stop the border, so I just started running them all the way around :)

All the best,

Really nice Josh!  When you stamp the serpentine border, do you alternate sides when you stamp or go down one side and then the other?

Thanks Gary! As for how I stamp, it's been s bit of a progression. I started out going all the way around the "inside" and then filling in the "outside". I also pre-measured the spacing by laying it out with little tick marks. Then I went to alternating each side a stamp at a time, making the complete design as I went so I didn't need to pre-measure their locations so much. And now, since alternating sides requires me to twist and turn more than I care to, I've gone back to stamping all the way around one side complete and then doing the other and I just "eyeball" the spacing.

I appreciate you taking the time on the progress pics, Josh. It's always a pleasure to see your finished pieces...to see the goods as they are being made is very enlightening...much to be learned from the sharing! Such detailed stamping always seems intimidating in its final form...but when it can be viewed in-progress it's much less a monster for us amateurs!  Like the others, I anxiously await more pics and the finished holsters...many thanks!

Have a great day!

You're certainly welcome Chris!

Broke down into each step it's pretty easy to pull this border off. I'll also add that the more you get stacked in there the less each little flaw jumps out.

All the best!

As always: excellent work!

I'd like the holsters to retain their natural color.
