An old customer, well, not that he’s old, just known him a long time…
He sent me this machete that needed some work…..The sheath was falling apart
and it had a plastic handle…
This is not a cheap wallyworld knife, it’s a Collins and Co. made in Guatemala for
about a 140 years…Blade is 3/16″ x 2″ x 22″…Overall is 27″…Formidable slicer…

His only request was a new handle of natural material and he wanted an
American  Indian feel to the package…Great customer, gives me room…

I tore off the plastic handle and used a couple pieces of spalted lightning killed
Maple stump…It is ALIVE!!…

The sheath had a beautiful carved base after I got all the rotted S. American
 hoofrahs off of it…Added a new belt loop, some brain-tanned with a little beading
and a bunch of fringe to offset the length of the sheath…

As far as being Period Correct, would not bet on it…but…it sure is different…Randy.

Got tired of blue jeans so I made these. I dyed the fabric. My wife says it's the colour of prawn cocktail sauce. I think she's got a point......

Looks good, Skeet. You can eat at any Italian or Mexican restaurant, spill on them and never find it. Nice work on them. I suppose you could re-dye them with green to get an Earthy brown or blue for an interesting purple tint. Naw, wear them as they are. 8)

Not cowboy per say but does involve leather. Just recently finished a knife and sheath for a customer, the customer wanted a sheath for horizontal carry. What I came up with can be worn on the left side for a right hand cross draw or on the right for a left hand cross draw. The sheath was rubbed with EVOO and sun tanned then finished wioth Montan Pitch Blend. The knife handle is Spalted Maple Burl with a small piece of iron wood.

Cool design, Camano. Very innovative to run the loop all the way around for use on either side. Good work.

Here is a Shoulder Holster Rig I just finished for a Customer. I'm getting a lot of work like this since Wisconsin's Concealed Carry law went into effect. Thank the Lord for Vinegaroon... don't have to worry about the dye bleeding off unto clothing.

This morning I delivered the forth holster to my friend Doc.  The upper left one for his Springfield 1911 A1.  This guy loves the Trojan Horse on his holsters
