Howdy Don
That's a great lookin pair of straps.

The swivel cuts on the holster are mine too. The holster was already made when I decided to match it to the
sheath. I had used Skidmores for a finish on the holster and culd not get it wet enough t get any depth to
my carving.

Hey, lookin' good, Don. I like those straps. Good color for that design. The mulefoot makes a nice border, too. Good work.

Alright, Compadres,  I've been working my fingers to the bone all week to finish the eagle buscadero belt because it's a gift for my son who's coming home from college this weekend and I wanted to have it ready to give him for his B-day.  Here's the pics!

[kid sheleen]

Two more pics of the eagle belt.  This B-day present comes complete with a pair of Uberti Polished stainless 1858 Remingtons with .45 Colt conversion cylinders and aged ivory grips.

Kid,

That is one nice looking rig.  Your son will look pretty spiffy in that.  Well done.....want to make me one???

[kid sheleen]

 :PSure Outrider!  If your waist size is less than 22 inches and you can wait for delivery until the Amazon freezes over or I catch another bear with a piece of liver, whichever comes first!

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Well, there, Kid. That is first rate. Great work. I like the color on it. Those S/S 58's are a good addition to it, too. Your son should really be stoked over that. What a cool gift.

[Don101]

22 inch waist i dont think i can remember that far back LOL ...nice rig though it has turned out realy nice, Don

[Ace Lungger]

Howdy Kid,

Howdy Pards,

I have again re-designed the western style 45 ACP holster.  Instead of a recurve at the throat I have done an arc.  So far this has been well received by the Wild Biunch shooters.  But I wanted some input from my favorite critics     I have also finally found my "US" impression stamp an the next holster will have the cross strap with the "US" logo on it.

[Johnny Dingus]

Very nice Outrider,

Liked the way the border is outlind by using dividers.  Stamping looks even.  The coloring is showing on my computer as a darkbrown with red highlights.  If that is the true color it makes it look older kinda antique.
