Members plinkercases Posted August 15, 2018 Members Report Posted August 15, 2018 I used the floral pattern from a Stohlman holster pattern for this. I like them actually. I guess some call that style Tandy Floral..?

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 22, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted August 22, 2018 I always liked that one. I still get asked to make it on occasion.

garypl Posted August 22, 2018 Report Posted August 22, 2018 Looks real good, but that backgrounding must have taken a long time to stamp! Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members plinkercases Posted August 22, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 22, 2018 Surprisingly not so long when you get in the groove...more an issue with my old hands cramping.. I will be trying some of those shaft fattening deals there was a thread about (like rubber pen holding aids etc.) . That said I now try to leave less back-ground.... and have started to like the pebblers as back grounds... not traditional but look cool and les strikes needed.

I’m with you on the pebble backgrounder. I save the seeder backgrounder for small areas. Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Members battlemunky Posted August 22, 2018 Members Report Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) I was just thinking about how may hands would be protesting with all the backgrounding. Gotta take it in small bites! Looks good Edited August 22, 2018 by battlemunky Quote

Members ScoobyNewbie Posted August 23, 2018 Members Report Posted August 23, 2018 I can tell what tools you used! Beautiful! Quote
Members RegisD Posted August 26, 2018 Members Report Posted August 26, 2018 Outstanding! You really did some great caving and tooling. I wish my spacing between tool strikes was as even and consistent as yours. The color is very nice. Good one! Quote Handmade doesn't have flaws it's just built-in character.

I have an order for this style for a S&W model 25 6"bbl but haven't had the time to get to it this summer....soon I hope.
