Members Bayou Bengal Posted March 20, 2020 Members Report Posted March 20, 2020 2-3/4” cartridge belt that tapers to 1-1/2”. Walnut dye and natural stitching. I’ve been going really heavy on the airbrush, but I just like the way it glows when it’s sealed and buffed. Matching border stamping on the belt and the 2 fully lined holsters and belt. All leather is 7/8oz Wickett & Craig Skirting. @JLSleather got me hooked on the split skirting, and now I can’t go back. I haven’t woven cartridge loops in a really long time, but I like this look over the stitched loops, and I can’t really explain why. But, after much experimentation with cartridge loops, I’ve landed on 1” width. I really wanted to add the cartridge loops on a separate piece of leather and dye that a rich chocolate, but not everybody likes 2-tone. I do think a nice buckle set would’ve made this pop more. Thanks for lookin. I hit submit a little too quick, like an idiot. Here’s the rest of the pictures Quote

Members noobleather Posted March 21, 2020 Members Report Posted March 21, 2020 Great work, as Battlemunkey said that colour with the stitching goes together really well together. Like the edging work and your stamping. Quote
Members AwlShucks Posted March 21, 2020 Members Report Posted March 21, 2020 Really nice looking. Crisp and good color. Quote

Took some practice to get it halfway decent. I appreciate the kind words Quote

Members dikman Posted March 21, 2020 Members Report Posted March 21, 2020 Very nice indeed! Looks too good to wear and get scuffed. Something I've wondered, I understand that the airbrush will give a nice uniform colour, but does it give the dye penetration into the leather that other applications do?

Members Rhale Posted March 21, 2020 Members Report Posted March 21, 2020 Beautiful work! Not criticizing but wondering if on the Ruger it appears to be awful top heavy, or that it could easily fall out of the holster if the loop wasn’t on the hammer! Just curious! Quote
