One thing that I was curious about on the Tom Threepersons holster that you made for your dad.., does it have a welt? Red says (my interpretation) that the reason that the welt is important is to allow the holster to jell retain the gun. See the photo in post 9 above. Unfortunately, this requires,sewing or lacing through multiple layers of leather.
Just a thought..... Anyway, welcome, and keep sharing your work with us!!

Thank you Les, to mention me in the same sentence as Red
Nichols and turnerriver is indeed a compliment. But those
2 guys are like PhDs in holsterology. I, on the other hand,
am but a student. And a kindergartner at that.
