Just went back a couple of pages to admire the gunleather,  Hats off to, Capt Quirk, Marshal Will Wingam, Johnny McCrae, Kid Cavalier and Wallace Foster.  All beautifully done leather work.

I just finished a Cross  Draw Holster for a Rig I made in 2014. This Holster was immersed in my new batch of Walnut dye for one hour followed by two coats of Neets and two coats of Skidmores. You can see the difference in color between the old and new batch of Walnut dye. The new batch is much more powerful and has a much different look to it.

Lookin' good, Johnny. Nice work, there.

Both batches of dye look great. Can't say I prefer either. The new one does have a nice patina that the other didn't.

Here is one that I just finished for a friend's Remington revolver. These are just run of the mill plain-Plain Jane Holsters that I've been posting lately but I want to show how my newest batch of home brewed Walnut dye is working out. This Holster was immersed in the dye for 1/2 hour followed by my usual two coats of Neet's Foot Oil and two coats of Skidmore's. This batch of dye is rather powerful I've had to to learn how to work with it. I'm going to try 15 minutes with my next Holster.

That dye does do the job. I like the color.

Nice holster. Looks authentic. I do believe you've coined a new name, though. "Plain Jane Slim Jim." ;D

Johnny. I like the holster as well as the color of the Plain Jane Slim Jim. Nice!  I never have tried home brew dye.

I made this replica of the R.T Frazier holster (Circa 1915-1920) using a Will Ghormley pattern.

Howdy Wiley,

That's a real work of art. That 1911 looks right at home in this Holster. Many thanks for sharing it with us.

Beautiful holster, Wiley. It looks authentic. That's my favorite pattern for a 1911.

Well, your Scottish fella did a good job on that holster. It looks really nice. The photo is first rate, too. Nice composition, good lighting. Much better than my photos. Thanks for sharing.

Last October my Bride and i moved to Florida permanently. I left my home brewed Walnut Dye back in Wisconsin with a fellow shooter. Here is a Holster I just finished for the upcoming 2019 NCOWS Convention that will be part of a raffle package. Attached are pictures showing the raw Holster then one coat of Neet's then finally three coats of Neet's and one coat of Skidmores. I do miss my Walnut Dye.

I don't know how much Leather Work I'll be doing here in Florida so for this one I bought a pre-cut piece of leather from the Leather Guy in Minnesota: https://theleatherguy.org/product/pre-cut-natural-leather-cow-hide-veg-tan-12-x-12-8-9-oz-smooth/
You easily get one Slim Jim out of 12" x 12" piece.

On another note, the NCOWS conventions are always great events. The 2019 NCCOWS Convention will feature a 23 Vendors and 7 Seminars all open to the general pubic. For more information please go to: http://www.ncowsconvention.com/

Looks great Johnny!!   Can't wait to win the 1858 Remington with the pale
rider conversion, your holster, 100 rounds of 38 heeled ammo and the signed
Clint Eastwood poster.
