That makes a fine pair, Johnny. Nice job matching them. It'll be great to see the whole rig.

Dr. Bob · March 28, 2009, 11:54:03 PM

+1 on all the previous Johnny! Looks like you got one holster & a mirror. Kewel!!

JD Alan · March 29, 2009, 12:26:28 AM

You ROCK Johnny! Those really look great. Are you going to go for a matching belt?

Willie Dixon · March 29, 2009, 02:19:20 AM

Jonny those are great! I love that movie, both versions.

the new one is what introduced me to my "baby" a good ol Spencer Carbine. I was like, "wha!? no way! A Sharps with 7 rounds!" lol

is that a pattern for the 3:10 to Yuma or did you find it somewhere in the cyberspace?
onto the holsters themselves, what did you use for dye and what color was the leather to begin with?
awesome looking holsters, I was thinking of doing mine in that style too, but for 58 Remmies instead. I just love that pattern and style.

Great job.

Howdy johnny,

All I can say is AWESOME

,
Those are smokin!!!

You did a great job, and I won't get long winded like last time! I am like the others, I am ready to see the whole rig!!
thanks for sharing those for us to see! I am not near that brave yet!!
But I am working on it! Maybe someday!
Later ACE

Dingus, they came out terrific! This last one looks like you swiped Ben Wade's holster and rubbed in some Skidmore's.
Now how did Will Ghormley get that dusty look to his?

JD Alan · March 29, 2009, 08:58:10 AM

Good Question Santee, Good Question. It would be great if Will would share how he does that. On the other hand, the guy does this to put food on the table for his kids, so I can understand how a guy might want to keep some "Trade Secrets" to himself.

Johnny McCrae · March 29, 2009, 11:10:22 AM

Mighty fine work there Johnny D.

Many thanks for sharing this with us

Johnny Dingus · March 29, 2009, 11:49:12 AM

Thanks Marshall Will.

HorsePen I am practicing when will I be perfect?.......

Thanks for your comments.

TW thanks my carving will get betterr the more I do it. But as always we know where the mistakes are in carving and what we would do a little different.

Dalton only 50 - 60 more and I might start looking as good as some of yours. I remember yours with the red white and blue shield wow. Thanks

Dr. Bob that mirror has a kink here and a flaw there. I think one is easier than two that are opposite sides. Thanks

JD the belt I am going to make will also be a copy of the one from the movie.

Willie, no pattern just made them off of the picture. This set has a little drop but the next set will be as original with no drop. Hopefully a little better. For dye I used a mixture of 50% evoo to 80/20 Feibings dark brown and USMC black.

Ace thanks, but you are that brave. You do great with all your leather work. Didn't I read some where you made a hat?

Santee thanks no skidmore's need to put that on my list of needs. Dusty look maybee wipe it down with Alcohol?

Thanks for looking Gents.

HorsePen Henry · March 29, 2009, 06:24:50 PM

Here is the finished holster. I just finished it up today.......

All it needs now is a bit of burnishing and waxing.

Cheers,
Horse Pen

Willie Dixon · March 29, 2009, 06:57:06 PM

Horse Pen, nice holster!

Johnny McCrae · March 29, 2009, 07:11:45 PM

Howdy HP,

Very very nice! Right out of the pages of "Packing Iron". Thank you for sharing this with us.

Marshal Will Wingam · March 29, 2009, 07:26:12 PM

That really looks great, XP. Pure vintage for sure. Johnny M said it right. Thanks.

Man what you can do free hand, most of us couldn't do as well with a pattern, you're one heck of an artist Pard, this holster dyed up real nice, it's beautiful to say the least.
