Just finished up. 10/11 HO craftsman for the body and straps. 6 oz latigo for the edge lacing. Finished with several coats of NF oil and some time in the sun then a good coat of Aussie Wax. Then a little liquid glycerin saddle soap to make it glow. This took an embarrassing amount of time! Seems like I worked on it for a month of Sundays :)

All the best, Josh

Beautiful work Josh and nice rifle as well!  My hands feel tired just looking at all the stamping that went into that border!

Very well done. 

I've been doing belts that have been outside tanning, then NF and Skidmore's.  That works pretty well.  I don't have enough space yet to do anything that big.  My current tanning facility is the dash of a Subaru.

Both the scabbard and the rifle are very nice.

Made me laugh, and I'm about the same, I use my run around truck. On nice days I'll put stuff on the hood. If it looks like it might rain they go on the dash and I try to park in the sun. :)

Thanks Scoutmom! It is a superb rifle! I worked pretty hard to try and keep the scabbard up to it's standard.

Fantastic work.  If I could get something like that done in a month of Sundays, I'd be happy.  I usually spend a year of Sundays just cogitating on it!

Thanks folks, I sure appreciate the kind words. :)

I'm a bit of a philistine when it comes to tooling but that rifle absolutely deserves it. Well done.
