LEATHER ARTISAN - UPDATE
Any recommendations on who's best to make a matching floral carved knife sheath for the Lawrence belt? Thanks
Update- Picked the right fellow for the job "05CarbonDRZ" here on the forum. I can carry the Randall now with a sheath matching the Lawrence belt and holster. Very pleased with quality and detail of work. Easy to work with and very prompt. Thanks Alex!!

I think there's no one left but the folks at El Paso Saddlery. My searches for Jim Buffaloe, who was Lawrence's master carver at one time, and worked for many holster companies before and after, came up dry.
Lawrence's stamping represents the pinnacle of the skill known by Heiser as 'Mexican carved'. Could EPS match it? The reality is that, were your set on display, no one but you would notice if the carving matched, or not! Lawrence made sheaths, so maybe you'll get lucky with an original :-)

This fellow's done some nice carving. Haven't seen him around the forum lately. You might be able to contact him via email.
