Thanks Bill,I am working on a 6.5" N Frame Texas Jock Strap right now for a Customer.They are my favorite style of Holster but they take a TON of work.

Please post a picture. I am looking for one for a 6.5" N frame.

The 6.5" N Frame is not finished yet,If You PM me your E-Mail address I can send you some pictures of the work in progress.

That's really very nice. What kind of finish do you use?

Oh my god I want that holster!

I bought the carved holster for the 4 in n frame.That Alex had for sale recently.Beautiful work perfect fit for my mountain gun.This one looks even better.

I use Fiebings Bag-Kote,It gives a nice dull glow thats not over the top.

Very nice work....love the hand tooling....speaks of a passion.

I have three of Alex's holsters now and two that will be here soon. Every bit of his work is great and Alex is great to work with. When the next two come in I will put everything together and post some photos here.

You might be interested in this, I hang out here sometimes; Leatherworker.net, great place to learn stuff or just look at some beautiful leather work. There's some other forum members that pop up there from time to time.

Beautiful work!!

I have done a lot of reading and learning on that Forum.I learned Leather Working on my own so it was a big help.

I'm right there with ya, I learned a lot about doing a proper saddle stitch by watching this guy.

Here is some more of Alex's work. I think these are great. What started off with just getting one holster for a pre model 30 end up as 5 new holsters.

Alex I want to that you for building these for me.

Now I'm headed over to my buddies, I love seeing him (another Smith Collector) when he is green with envy
