Here are some pictures of my recent work.All Holsters are Hand Made by myself from the pattern to Saddle Stitching.I only use Hermann Oak 8-9oz Veg Tanned Leather.First up is my idea of the ultimate J Frame BBQ Holster.It is done in Burgandy(It is darker than the pics show) and Black accents and edging.Everything is hand carved as well as Burnished,Saddle Stitched,Dyed and Boned.I don't see too many fancy Floral Carved J Frame Holsters so I decided to make One.If You see anything You like shoot me a PM or E-Mail at [email protected].I currently have no wait time for a Custom Holster.

nice work...

Thank You,I am very happy with all 3 of them.The J Frame is a work of Art,It took me a long time to carve everything and Hand Dye all the Black with a small Paint Brush.

Good looking leather!

To tell the truth, I use a Sharpie to fill in the black areas on tooled holsters. it's cheap, quick, and easy, but it works.

That's some good lookin' leather ya got there.

Does it stand the test of time? I would be worried about it rubbing off.

I don't know why it wouldn't stay as well as dye. They both soak into the leather. If not, it would surely be easy to touch up.

You have made great strides in a very short amount of time Alex. Keep up the good work!
