Santee, that rig looks great. I like the slight mismatch in color because it's probably more accurate for how a rig would have been in the 1800's. On the last rig I made for myself, I intentionally made the belt and holsters a slightly different shade so it would look like someone had picked up each piece separately but did their best to match them.

Steel Striker, nice job. Those knives are cool and that sheath is a good match for it.

Here's a pair of holsters and a belt that I made for my Colt 1860 copies.  I finished them this week.  I've also made a matching set for my 5-1/2" bbl Colt 1873 copies (they are wet forming now).  The holster pattern is from Mr. Ghormley's Flames of Hell.  The incised floral pattern (actually used a stitch grooving tool) is my own that is in the spirit of some designs I've see in photos.

My hands are sore, I've made six holsters this week...all with toe plugs.

Thanks, guys!
Troy, I get the sore hands comment. Very nice work to you and Stiker, BTW.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Those look really good, Troy. I like incised designs. You captured the spirit of originals beautifully.

My sentiments exactly. Many thanks for sharing this with us.

Here is a pair I just finished for a friend.

Two hours in the Walnut Dye followed by Neets Foot Oil & Skimores.

I'm still using my original batch of Walnut Dye brewed in April of 2009. Here is a link to a slide show I made in 2009

Love that rich Brown color.  I too boiled 5 gal. Black Walnut husks, but didn't get that rich tone after Neatsfoot oil treatment.  Think it's because I filtered the fine silt from my batch?  Did you add any Vinegaroon to your batch?

Did you add any Vinegaroon to your batch?

No Vinegaroon was added. This is just straight Walnut dye. When making this batch I did have some iron nails in the solution.

Nice work Bob!
I made a pair for my self recently...no tooling, only some brass spots to match a belt I already have.  Your work puts mine to shame!

[santee]

Terrific piece.
