We-e-e-e-l, I got it together.  Got the fringe cut.

Nothing fancy, just an unlined thin deerskin sleeve with the fringe sewed into the bottom seam.  

Added some dark red crow beads to every third fringe.  Gonna use dark green, dark yellow, and dark red 8/0 beads to decorate the side of the sleeve in some basic geometric pattern and then dunk the whole shebang in some thick dark coffee and see what happens.

Have some conchos that may find a home on it, too.  Not quite convinced they belong there yet, but I'll see how they look before I commit to them.

Never know.  This thing may be presentable or I may have wasted  a bunch of deer hide.  Everything has a lesson in it, even my frequent disasters.

Looking forward to seeing that, 40. The beads sound nice.

Nice work, Mo. Very cool with the beadwork. The shootin' iron is a fine piece, too.

It is a pietta 1860 colt army (currently on sale at Cabela's for 189.99 a steal!)   The shoulder stock I picked from Dixie gunworks along with the synthetic ivory grip.   With the shoulder stock it is as accurate as my henry rifle at 50 yards and is point of aim at 50 after I opened up the hammer notch.   Thanks, for the compliments, the scraps were bought for less than $5 from a bin at a shoe maker supply.  The beaded circle cost me more than that.

Mogorilla,

Gorgeous weapon! With my klutziness I would be afraid to take it out of the case!

Next question:  how long do I leave deerskin in coffee and do I need to "fix' it so it won't rub off?

I know I've seen this on the board, but can't find it.   Oh, well, off to buy coffee.
