Basketweave & Floral Holster.

WC Darn those Pesky Customers

The holster looks fantastic. Did you use Feibings Walnut, or another brand? Whatever, the color sure look good. Would you care to describe how you apply that? I've read so much about how people apply stain; some oil the leather first, other case it, I'm sure there are lots of ways. Whatever you are doing looks great. I really admired the color of the Kleenex boxes.

I assumed Bob would not run his own Facebook. That thing is a real time killer if you aren't careful. 

Thanks WC, I appreciate the info very much.

Gun Butcher, I am to be believed regarding WC!

I mix the Feibings Walnut with Pure Neatsfoot Oil.( No I don't measure.) I apply with a piece of Sheep's wool. This one had 3 coats to get the color I wanted. It will be very dull til you put on a finish coat I used Neat-Lac spray. It was cold today and the spray was kinda blotchy but gave a very cool look. May not do the same on the sheath and belt.

Thank you for all the kind words. This was fun and I hope to get to the other parts before too long.
I've started a new rule for my business. One customer job, one playtime for me. I almost got burned out a few years ago just cranking out customer work.

  WC, beautiful work. That one is really great and I like the color. That one should get somebody some style points.

JD, just kidding I believe everything you say

GB I knew you was kiddin

WC, thanks for that info on the color & finish on that most excellent holster. As I remember, that's pretty much the same way Kid Terico does his holsters, and he produces nice color as well.

I sure do appreciate all the help and good advice you and the other Pards so graciously share. JD

That is just bloody brilliant! I haven't got the patience to even consider attempting something as amazing as that, WC, much less the skills needed for it. I'm just in awe!

It only took about an hour to cut out all the plugs. I'd spend mort time than that doing a fully carved holster.

 Howdy Pards

       I stopped in to see WC today, and this holster is even better in person, WC is without a doubt a perfectionists, just like all his work, I could just sit and stair at his things and work for hours.

WC, thanks for this detailed picture spread. I'm wondering what you did in the way of lay out to get this done. Did you use a swivel knife for the cuts? It really looks incredible. JD

[GunClick Rick]

Dumb question,but will that have a background or show the blade of the knife?

That holster came out sweet man,too cool..

[Gun Butcher]

  Absolutely amazing work. That is beautiful.

[Kid Terico]

WC keep patting your self on the back. Thats going to be a awesome rig when u put sheath, holster and belt together. KT
