Howdy AC,
Your lookin' good. Can't wait to see the finished rig!

[Skeeter Lewis]

Here's a new rig. The same Frank Meanea tooling pattern as before but this one's for me coz I'm a southpaw. The money belt is 2.5 inches wide, Loops are sewn individually.

Howdy Skeeter,
Mighty fine work! Very clean, neat and professional looking! Excellent workmanship! Many thanks for sharing this with us.

[Django]

Fantastic work Skeeter, i love it!!
What brand and type of colour did you use as i would like to achieve this eveness and depth.
Did you colour before stitching?
Thanks
Django

Some great looking leather work your doing Sketter. Thanks for showing. KT

[Skeeter Lewis]

Thanks, pards. Django, there's no dye on this rig. In fact, I've more or less stopped using dye. It's too much of a PITA. It's just EVOO and sunshine. You can finish off with Skidmore's for a richer effect. In Packing Iron you see the occasional dyed rig, but for the most part they were left au naturel. Just time, sun and use gave them that beautiful amber color.

   Skeeter I think you have this leather thing down, beautiful rig, it looks professional all the way, and then some, your carving really stands out, being a lefty my ownself,  I really like it, and those money belts are the most comfortable gun belt you can wear, great job of sewing the bullet loops also.

                               Well  done Pard

That is very nice Skeeter! I wish I could get the knack of EVOO down! I can't seem to get the leather an even Amber color when I do it! I love that color on it!

[Arizona Cattleman]
