Outstanding, Skeet. As usual, you did it right. Thanks for the pic.

How about posting a picture of one of those Collins/Roosevelt holsters in our Holster Styles & Variations thread.

YEEE HAW!!!!! Finally, it's my turn!!!!! My fingers hurt so bad that i can barely type this, but I just can't wait to show off my very first complete gun rig. In the past i made up a belt and then modified a couple of cheap holsters to go on the belt, but this one I did from scratch completely. I even made my own templates.

The basics are: Holsters and belt are 6 oz. cowhide covered with 3 1/2 oz. cattle-gator. It's a very nice heavily embossed cowhide. I got it from Tandy and it isn't all that expensive, less than $40 for a single shoulder when it's on sale. The cattle-gator takes stain pretty well, but it should be deglazed before you try to stain it. The edges don't want to stay glued down, so you really should sew or lace down the edges. It’s because of the heavy embossing. It won’t allow the raised portion of the embossed leather to touch whatever it is that you are gluing it to. The small holster, for a 3 ½” Uberti Thunderer in .45 Colt, is lined with a light pigskin suede split. The big holster, for a 7 ½” SAA clone in .45 colt, is not lined. The billets are from 4-5 oz. horsehide. I chose the horsehide for its’ superior wearability. I am considering adding bullet loops and hammer tie-downs, but I don’t want to cover up the nice alligator pattern in the rig and I really think that the tie downs look ugly.







I will no longer respond to the rants of the small minded that want to sling mud rather than discuss in an adult manner.

still playing catch-up and dealing with health issues (bum paw for one), but I'm back at it and here's some of the results...
A couple of sheaths along with the first knife.....


Knife by the great Herschel House..an early mentor and ongoing source of inspiration yet this is the first of his knives I've built a sheath for....


gunrig with three holsters - left & right strong side and RH cross draw




spike Hawk sheath




3 more sheaths and knives.....






hope ya'll enjoy the view  - oh and last but not least a knife for Buckskin Billy (still need to make the sheath - the one in the image was made for a lady who only wanted a sheath to hang on the wall)

Very nice Chuck. It looks like that beadwork lazy stitched directly to the leather, is it? I really like your photography too.

Awesome Chuck! I love the way you've got the bullet loops imprinted in the back side of the belt. Those extra touches make them look used and adds to the over all look. That's what sets your work apart.

Beautiful work, Chuck. Even with a bum paw, you're up to the task. Thumb's-up on these. Did you increase the saturation on the photos a little? They look a little different than ones you've done in the past.

The beadwork is a combo of the lane/lazy stitch and the applique stitch and yes it is beaded directly to the leather like most originals (I only use braintan or German tan for beading) and in some case rawhide

Thanks Cliff that means a lot, In this case I don't know any other way to not get the loops to imprint - since it's all part of the basic process for me and maybe that I use 2-4oz max for liners. Also I looked at and continue to look at not just antique leather but at gun shows and used goods stores I examine leather that's been used for 5-20 years and do my best to emulate that look.

I had to change my setup after the move and can't quite get the same look as I did before and in some of these I did saturate a bit more to get more depth.

Beautiful work Chuck!

As I've said before, your DVD has helped me take my work up several notches.

Many thanks for sharing your talents and expertise with us.
