Thanks for all the welcomes - here's a couple of pictures showing what I've been up to with holsters recently.

Hand dyed tooling leather blank experiments - the Fiebing oil dyes come out darker than expected but the colour lightens when the leather is flexed so that should be a nice effect when it takes on the 'ghost' outline of a revolver. There's about 9 shades of Brown in the range so need to find one between Saddle Tan and Golden Brown.

Here's one I just finished yesterday - a custom Raiders style for a 5 inch barrel revolver in Golden Brown with white stitching at 6 stitches per inch. This should be heading off to Canada shortly.

Man....that's an awesome holster. Looks like REAL quality workmanship.

Thanks - that one is holster number 20 so I've had a fair bit of practice! There's a bunch of higher res pictures on the holsters page of my website for a better look. There's a lot of work goes into one but it's a really satisfying feeling taking something all the way from just a piece of leather to the finished article. Plus I know they all end up in good homes. No. 20 will be heading off with a bridle leather ROTLA belt to keep it company which should make for a pretty nice rig.
