WC,

Beautiful work. You nailed the spacing of your stamping. It looks completely balanced side to side at the buckle when you have it on.

Vicoden?....I would think it might have been a combination of that and the hour. Up a little late for a work night?
That ain't late, that's my normal.

Howdy All
Thank you all for the kind words. I had a lot of fun making this set. It's only taken me a year to finish from the time I go the knife.
I was not sure how that buckle set was going to work the way I did it but it's not too big a pain.....

Ace I normally do lay out all my carving patterns but since I pieced this together over a years time I just kinda winged it on this one.

Beautiful work, Wayne. As usual, I'm really impressed. That border stamp really does make your fine tooling look good.

Lovely lacing and the medalion sheild looks great the way you framed it with leather.

Nice sheath, BH. I like the laced seams and the brass US on it. Good work.

outrider · April 12, 2009, 01:06:43 PM

Howdy Pards,

This is not your standard "western" style holster, however it is gun leather. Just finished this "pancake style" CC holster for a fellow shooter. The pistol is a Ruger SP-101 .357 with a 3" barrel. I really like this gun and I think I will end up buying one of these as soon as I can locate one. The color is the mixture (saddle tan and medium brown) that Don 101 posted in here months back.

Marshal Will Wingam · April 12, 2009, 01:14:07 PM

Nice pancake, Outrider. I really like the rich color. It's a clean, quality-looking item. Nice work. A friend of mine had one of those shooters and really liked it. I tried it and it was impressive.
