More nice work showing up every day. Nice rig Johnny! As soon as I get a grandson, he'll be outfitted proper too!

I finished this scabbard for my Pard Buckeye Pete today. He needed it to match his gunbelt and wanted a removable strap, which snaps to the back inside the belt loop.

Verry nicely done basketweave Kid

JD Alan · July 14, 2009, 05:48:17 PM

That is a heck of a fine example of basket stamping. The color is very nice too. Thanks for sharing the pictures. JD

Thanks, Looks great.

Nice work on that scabbard, Kid. Good design. You matched the belt nicely.

Howdy Canelo Kid,
Thank you for the kind words. Beautiful job on your Pard's scabbard. Great design and workmanship! It should last him a lifetime.

Howdy Ace,
It's great to hear from you! Many thanks for your very kind comments. This was a fun project for me.

Ace Lungger · July 15, 2009, 06:31:37 PM

Howdy Canelo Kid,
Man I didn't mean to skip your knife sheath, my head must still be fuzzy

I didn't see it untill, I opened this thread just know!
I realy like basketweave and you did a killer job!!!

I can't seem to get my basketweave as strait as you do! Great job!!! Keep up the good work!

Johnnny, it is nice to be back with my friends on here, I am still not super, It just got me down not being a part of this family, so I had to get back in the saddle. Man I wasn't given you kinds words, I meant every thing I sad!!!

Life is so short, that the things you make for your family are so special, and to have people like you sharing that with us, means so much to me! I know one thing for sure, you grandson has a SUPER GRANDPA!!

Very nice leatherwork CK you did a great job matching the belt also.

santee · July 20, 2009, 07:49:53 AM

Nice stuff, Kid!
Here are some dove wing spur straps I finished yesterday for the new spurs my wife got me. The photo makes the dye imperfections look blotchy and more red than they actually are. In person they look worn, brown and distressed (I wrinkled the leather like Chuck taught us, too).

JD Alan · July 20, 2009, 08:12:31 AM

Those look real good santee. I like the color and the authentic look they have. The spurs look great too. Nice gift! JD

santee · July 20, 2009, 09:16:00 AM

Thanks, JD. The drop shank on them is gonna take a bit of getting used to.

Ten Wolves Fiveshooter · July 20, 2009, 09:35:50 AM

Very nice Santee, I like the way the hook up is centered in the rosette, the color looks fine to me, I personally like the used look over the brand new store bought.

Regards

Excellent job Santee! Ten Wolves comments hit the nail on the head. Many thanks for sharing this with us.

Ace Lungger · July 20, 2009, 11:34:49 AM

Hey Pard,

Those are AWESOME spur straps, I have to agree with the pards, they look great!!! Like TW said the Rosette came out perfect!!
Keep up the good work Bud!!

JD Alan · July 20, 2009, 12:36:41 PM

Santee, I didn't notice the drop shank until you mentioned it. I just wore spurs for the first time in my life this past Saturday. Our club hosted the 2009 West Coast Western 3 Gun Championship this weekend, and I managed to walk around in them without tripping, falling, or spuring myself. I just wish I had shot as good as I was able to walk with the spurs $:-\$

Canelo Kid · July 20, 2009, 12:53:30 PM

Thanks Ace,
I didn't feel the least bit slighted.

Santee,
Nice spur straps. Just like most of the cowboys probably wore, simple yet functional, with just enough flair. Good work!

Safe trails,
CKid

santee · July 20, 2009, 01:51:35 PM

Thanks fellas! JD, I saw the photo you posted in another thread, and your spurs will be fine. Mine are not very conducive to heel-toe walking.
