Boy oh boy WC, a trip to Reseda would be well worth time to get some lessons from you. That wooden looking belt is really something. They all look great.

I use lifters like Tandy's Pro-petal only made by Jeff Mosby at Grey Ghost Graphics.
I have some sheridan style lifter stamps from Barry King but don't use them as much any more.

Anytime. Anyone is welcome.
I wish I could get out and teach classes. Ace's idea of a central meeting place to shoot and carve leather
would be great.

That's some fine work, WC. I like the woodgrain belt, too. It has a refreshingly different look. The way you balanced the oak leaves with the basket weave is nice on the holster. Nice work.

I can't find any photos of oak leaves I've done and there are no examples available to take pics of. No telling when I'll be doing any, either. Well, show some more stuff, pards.

That's for sure.

WC,

I have to agree that is one fine lookin' belt! That wood grain is just like the real thing! Reminds me of home it does.

All of that detail work on the belt and holster is amazing!

You guys just inspire me to no end, so I'll keep pounding my hammer.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Nice job on the oak leaves. Good lift.
Oak leaves just scream to be lifted.
