My most recent attempt

[Dalton Masterson]

I made this set for the Smoke N Iron 2 Nebraska BlackPowder Shootout this year. Run N Iron is donating an engraved '58 Remington with a conversion cylinder, and I made the holsters. They get whichever side they want, and the other will go on my target model '58, unless they want it too.

I used Will G's Cheyenne pattern, but ended up waay too small for some reason. Had to do some restitch and add a welt to the top. They fit well now, but I'm not too happy about the final look with the welt.

The color is 5 days of walnut dye, then a few days of work sitting on my dash getting a tan. Topcoat of Skidmores.

I am going to try and get some outside, sunlit pics up, as they show color better than my lighting. Thanks. DM

I just liked this pic and the color it is here.

Boy, those look good. The color is terriffic with that design. I really like the balanced look. They could be right out of packing Iron. Nice, nice work. Thanks for the pics.

[Top Kick Ken]

That is some beautiful work.  You should be very proud of what you accomplished there! 

I know a guy who has a Remington that would look really good in one of those!

DM you did a nice job on the carving and the color has turned out great, Don

Dalton,

Looks great,  color, carving, and border.  I agree with the Marshall,  could be out of PI.

Beautiful! A work of Art!!!

[Dalton Masterson]

Thank you all for the kind words. I really figured they would be darker after 5 days in the brew, but.....

Great work DM!  I love 'em.  Not much more I can say that hasn't been said.

I had the same problem with WG's remmy pattern that I made.  Way too tight, I thought.  I sold that one to a guy for ten bucks and made one 1/4" wider and it worked better.

Hey Dalton. I don't know how I missed those holsters right here. I'll take 'em welt and all. I just may have ta find me another leathersmith to make my stuff.

Well, the shoot is over, the gun was given away, and it went to a good pardette that normally shoots with us. She wanted the right hand holster, but she ended up with both. I couldnt split up the pair

So, now, I gotta go make me something else to dye with walnuts! Darn,  lol
