Howdy Dave, that's a fine looking sheath, I like the tie down, there are so many way to use antlers and bone to make thing special, that knife is a beauty too, you do really nice work.

[KidTerico]

Dave great job on the knife and sheath. I like the versility of the sheath.. As always you do nice work. KT

[Johnny McCrae]

Dave beautiful work as always pard.  If you don't mind me asking is the belt loop part of the back piece or is it separate and sewn to the back piece?

Well not long ago I showed a holster like this and a pard saw it and wanted a rig so here it is. This is a strong left side with a cross draw.  You may remember ol WC helped out on the proper way to do corners with this meander stamp...so check out these corners...thanks WC.

Great looking rig there Wiley!  I like it BIG time!!

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

  Well done Wiley, it has a classy look to it, I can't make out the meander, but I'm sure it looks good, these eyes of mine aren't what they used to be, you also got a nice color on it too, good style, I like it.

[KidTerico]

Great job Wiley. Put together really nice. KT

[Johnny McCrae]

Beautiful job Wiley! Thank you for sharing it with us.

[santee]

Nicely done!

[Gun Butcher]

Dave, that is a mighty pretty knife and sheath. I like the way the belt loop mirrors the guard on the knife.

Wiley, that is a great job on that rig. I always like the simple decoration and that one is classy.

[JD Alan]

Overall a good looking rig Wiley, but like 10 Wolves, I can't see much detail either. A little bigger picture would help show the detail that from the view we have looks real good. I agree with the other comments on color, I really like it.

Thanks for sharing

[Wiley Desperado]

Thanks to  all of you for the nice comments much appreciated.   This one is for TW and JD.

Here is the first holster i have made
I copied it from page 138 in Packing Iron for a 7 1/2" Colt SAA .
I am getting to grips with the problem of the work sucking up to much dye by trial and error....this one is a partial error as it is a bit dark so i aged it a bit using Chucks aging technique.


Sorry about the gun,but is the only SAA i have at the moment so i use it when wet moulding
Cheers

Django, very nice work, and for your first holster it is very well made, looks like you've been doing this for some time, it looks very professional to say the least, keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing.
