I really like the buckle also.

[PAMuzzleshooter]

I really like the buckle also.

Thanks Rube.  It's a Tandy buckle.  I thought it would go well with the pattern and rivets/Chicago screws I was using.

HI
The Chicago Screws are Antique Nickle aren't they?

Looking at the loop for the holster itself, brings up a weird deficiency with Tandy's offerings on Veiners.  It would help if they made a set of say 1 inch. 3/4 inch, and 1/2 inch that look like a set instead of different length points on the inside of the curve.  Will mentions using the different lengths in either the pattern package or online (forget which).

Later, that does look really really good by the way.

That's a beautiful top-quality Rig. Your first attempt at carving is awesome. Many thanks for sharing this with us.
