          Thanks for compliments on my holster Johnny it's much appreciated Pard. I posted it over here in the Variations thread so there would be easy access to the different styles.

       Pard your holster looks great, really nice knife work, and the spelled dye just adds character to it, your finish looks good too.

Thanks for adding that holster to this thread, TW. It has a nice look. The "blood" spots add character to it. Fine job, there.

Santee, that holster came our really beautiful. I like the color. You'll have to spill dye more often. Well done, pard.

     I just finished my Slim Jim cross draw holster to go along with my Mexican one loop and money belt, I used 9/10 ounce veg-tan leather, I dyed it in my Cowboy dark roast coffee, and adorned it with brass spots and nickel spots the same as the other, and finished it the same way as the other, the wide money belt makes a real easy and comfortable way to carry a couple large six guns.

  TW, that is some mighty fine leatherwork, Pard. I love the color and the design is perfect.

50 yrs, or just starting in this fine hobby, these piks show the best of the best. A person can never get too good, there;s always something new out there that needs to be tried.

I was lucky enough to have a sidekick who coached me after 50 yrs. of this fine hobby, I learned a lot from him.

Never too old Pards

Very nice examples of different styles folks. For some reason, I didnt have a subscription to this topic, so have been missing a LOT of posts!
Good to see it all again.

Great looking holster Bob. Not to fussy, I like that.

Here ya are Marshall Wingham,
Here are a couple a southern plains holsters from Texas and Oklahoma around the late 1870's -80's. The top one is actually the second one I started and the bottom one is still a work in progress. I had to alter the pattern to fit my "51 Colt civilian. The first one is slightly bigger and fits my Remington. Now.....off to sew the toe plug and finish the Remmy holster.

I love that style. Have u made the pattern your self or can i bye it somewere?

Sent you a pm BB.
