Looks good, CQ. I like the thumb hole.

[Capt Quirk]

Thanks Marshal. It is like one I had made for a customer, that got some attention. I had cut out two of them, thinking maybe they would sell well down here. I don't know if I'm pricing them right though, but the first one sold for $60, and the guy didn't balk at all about it. I've seen some going for as much as $100, but can't see it.

Just finished this one for a Raffle winner. Dyed with Vinegaroon

Looks fantastic Johnny, that black looks like you could just step into it, it's so deep, well done partner....

[Johnny McCrae]

Many thanks for the kind words TW. I believe it was you who introduced me to Vinegaroon.

By the way, I just acquired some fresh Black Walnut Hulls. I'll be brewing up a new batch of Walnut Dye shortly.

[Capt Quirk]

That came out very clean Johnny, great job! How do you like the vinagroon? I've never tried it.

[Johnny McCrae]

Thank you for the kind words Capt.

Vinegaroon is all I use for a Black color. It's easy to use and won't come off on your clothing.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

That looks great, Johnny. Someone will be very pleased.

CQ, I also only use vinegaroon for black. There's nothing that comes close to the nice rich black you get with it. In fact, I just made a new batch. A quart of white vinegar, a big 0000 steel wool pad and 4 days of waiting. It doesn't get much better than that. You have to leave the cap loose so it doesn't build up pressure. You can also use it on wood, too, but depending on the type of wood, you can get interesting results from light tan to dark black. I klutzed and knocked it over and my workbench has a nice dark streak across it, now.

[Capt Quirk]

Nice work, and welcome to the board!

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Lookin' good. That Remmie looks to be right at home. The long gun, too.

[CurlyDrew42]

I finished the right hand holster 

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Looks good, pard. Nice match, too.

[CurlyDrew42]

Just finished my bandoleer. ten 12ga shells and forty rounds of  .45 colt

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Well, that'll keep you making noise. Nice design.

[Johnny McCrae]

Howdy Curly,
I like the design. Nicely done.

[CurlyDrew42]

The bleed knot goes on my left hip and gives that end a little play so it sits nice and I can swing the back to the front if i need to.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Nice butt cover. Looks like it'll get the job done.

[CurlyDrew42]

Like my Ma always said, "don't forget to cover your butt."
