AC I forgot to mention the nice belt you made your grandaughter. You've really stepped into this game with a bang. Nice work; I'm sure she will love it, JD

[Wiley Desperado]

KT, Johnny, JD and Marshall, thanks for the kind remarks on the leatherwork, I'll post the rig when it is finished.  Always nice to get back to this group of  cowboys and sit by the fire and chat about leather.  I was scaning through the posts sure has been some mighty fine leatherwork displayed. 

AC sure is some good lookin belts you have posted they're going to be some happy campers when they open those gifts and they will treasure them forever.  I really like that leash very custom well done.

Howdy, CQMD. Those holsters are very nice. The border stamping on the light one is great. The spots look good with the dark color on the other one. Good seeing you again.

[Johnny McCrae]

Howdy CQMD,
I'd sure echo everyone else's comments. That is some beautiful work you have posted. Many thanks for sharing this with us.

[Dr. Bob]

CQMD,

+1 on the rest!

[Johnny McCrae]

Here is another practice Holster just finished. This one was in the Walnut dye for twenty minutes followed by three coats of Neet's amd one coat of Skidmore's. I learned not to let the Holster dry with the pouch left in the loops. Got a some uneven color on the pouch.

Special thanks go to Cowboy WC for sending me his excellent instructions on the use of the meander stamp. It is very generous of WC to share his talent and expertise.

Special thanks also go to Ten Wolves for his continued help and encouragement.

  Now thats what I call not wasting leather They look great Doc, I really like a simple classy border.

[Doc O]

Thanks GB.
I also made a simple 2" belt to match along with a cap pouch.
Not real happy with the cap pouch my rework that. The pouch needs to be a little heavier
leather.
