    New Slim Jim pattern for the 1860

    I always wanted to try one of the flat-topped Frank James patterns and finally got around to it.

    Slim Jim for the 1858

    Walnut with an aged finish. Got some nice wrinkles out of this one.

    Californian for the Walker

    It's been a slow year for leatherwork, I've only finished one holster this year before now. Here's a Californian for the Walker.

    Don't avoid new Uberti sixguns

    Some discussion in another thread about avoiding new Uberti sixguns for some reason. I've bought 20 Uberti and Pietta guns over the last two years and 52 in total. I'm here to tell you both manufacturers have their act together. Today I received #20. This time a full flute 1860. It may just be...

    Uberti Navy and Pocket Police.

    I've always loved the sleek barrel contours of the Colt 1860/1861 and the Pocket Police models. Thought I was going to scratch the 1862 Pocket Police itch with the Cimarron .380 conversion but it turned out to be a dud. A couple months ago I found them on sale at Midway so I snagged a 5.5"...

    Slim Jim with a little rawhide and a little beadwork

    The other day I was sitting outside, smoking a cigar and looking through magazines when I had this idea to put a rawhide cuff on a sixgun holster. I've learned to keep a sketchpad nearby so I can commit my ideas to paper, lest I forget them ten minutes later. This is the result. I used a piece...

    Aging a Pietta 1860

    Phase I of aging this Pietta 1860 and sort of a practice run. It dates 2005 and was one of the first two percussion guns I ever bought. Stripped the finish with vinegar, etched with ferric chloride and let it rust in bleach for 30mins. I thought the screws and loading lever were going to be...

    Big Iron!

    Two new Slim Jim holsters for the big 3rd Model Dragoon. One in dark walnut with double border stamping. One in chestnut with triple border stamping. At the bottom is the very first holster I made, which was for this sixgun back in 2013. Things sure have changed!

    Slim Jim for Pocket Navy/Police

    This is only about the 2nd or 3rd I've made for the Colt pocket models. This one for the 6.5" Police and Navy. Neat little holster for neat little sixguns.

    The Half Flap

    I've wanted to try this pattern for a long time but always dreaded the trial and error involved in designing the flap. I started to do a plain black military pattern but just couldn't do it. I took design queues from both military and civilian versions. Sam Browne button instead of the usual...

    Rawhide sheaths

    Finished these last year. Rawhide sheath on top of a quick & dirty blackpowder bag I made the year before. Mostly antique French and Venetian beads with tin cones and horse hair. Braintan fringe. Don't remember where the knife came from. Maybe Dixie Gun Works but it's not my work...

    Here's an aged Californian I just finished for the Remington 1858.
