Coming back after time away, western holster

[Horsewhishper]

 Hey guys, been awhile had got really busy with work so have not been making anything for about a year. Now have some more free time so decided to jump back into it with a western holster. It is 8 oz with 5 oz liner, stitched with all a linen thread and awl, made the pattern and all the lace myself. The color is not what I was looking for using fieblings low voc dies, it was supposed to be a light brown. So I am switching to pro dye to see if that helps. I have also included a photo of my very first western holster, it kinda cool to see the progress. Let me know what y'all think.

Nicely done.  I like the meander and San Carlos borders on western style holsters.

Excellent work.  Stitching looks great and I'd be proud to wear a holster like that.

Thanks you very much, had a lot of fun with it working on the gun belt next

Great work, that's the first time I've seen the meander stamp with no opposing stamps.  Interesting look.

Later

Couldn't agree more. 

Welcome back. I have not been able to put in as much time as I have wanted this last year as well, so I feel your pain.  I find the pro dyes work very well for me, but I live in California, and you cannot buy them here anymore.  I must buy them when I am out of state if I want to use them.

Why the leather thong  wrapped around the holster?

Tie down, wrapping just keeps it out of the way.

It also blocks our view of his leather work...
