Howdy Pards
Thank you for all your kiind comments..... 

Pete! ..... Did you have fun buildin that rig? and are you hooked on doin leather work like the rest of us are now?

Sure did have fun making it.
After years of racing, thrashing and reparing motocross and roadbikes this was definitely something completely different. But I loved every minute working on it. 
This for sure will be the beginning of a new addiction..... already future plans are stacking up in my head.....

Yep.... no expences were spared in the rivetting department..... 
Next project certainly will see more handstitching now that I've done it once..... not easy and a lot of work but afterall very nice to do.

+ 1 to what WC said for everyone.

[Django]

Django

[Boothill Bob]

I used Fiebing's light brown oil dye and then EVOO

[Dalton Masterson]

Looks good Bob!
I used my HOG holsters Sat. at our match, and they are a slick pulling holster. Love that design.

BB Great looking rig . KT

[JD Alan]

Bob, you did an outstanding job. I'm glad Django asked about the dye; took the words out of my mouth. I don't know what you get for single holster rigs in Sweden, but you sure aren't asking too much for that kind of work, especially with the carving and stamping.

Just curious, is anyone lining their HOG rigs?

[Dr. Bob]

B. Bob,

Simply gorgeous!  Any one would be proud to own that rig!! 

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

     Excellent work Boot hill Bob, thanks for sharing , you can be proud pard 

[Django]

I used Fiebing's light brown oil dye and then EVOO

Bob,Is the Fiebings oil dye easier to control than their spirit dye?
Django
