Color is mainly British Tan.  I've really come to like it and the reddish tint it has.

[rugerla1]

Wow, very nice!

[Ron Padilla]

are all of those being sewn with 207 thread or 138 and 207 depending on the project?  I like the closed bottom items, is there a hole in the back to let out captured lint and other items?  And is the closed work only done on smaller caliber weapons?

[quedz]

Really like the color and stitching on the folder sheath!

[Grand Torino]

Beautiful...absolutely beautiful. :up:

[nightrunner]

That is some VERY nice work. Beautiful pieces!

[Mwhiskey]

Really good looking products!  

[TripleGGG]

Very nice

[gregintenn]

Very nice and clean work. I'm impressed. I really like the artistic stitching on some of the pancake holsters. I don't think I've seen that before. It really adds a professional, finished look.

 

Also, I've found cartridge loops to be a particular pain in the arse. Yours look very good.

I would honestly have to look at the package my thread came in. I use a thread that's braided because I think it's stronger. It's just always felt better in my hands when I'm doing the stitching. No holes for the lint to be removed. If it comes to that up turning the holster would probably be just as easy.

I like the latest leather projects you've shown here and am very impressed with the degree of molding and definition you achieved with them. This is something I'm still working with as I generall use boning tools and finger pressure but am experimenting with weighted foam. Are you hand stitching everything? 

[Lumber_Jack]

Man those look really good.  Have you ever made wallets?  I think its a little more complex, just wondered the level of difficulty. 

[Garufa]

Your skills are really progressing.  Nice work G!

[gjohnsoniv]

I've made some wallets but haven't ever really been pleased with what I made. Not necessarily more complex but more involved with making the card slots and what not.

As someone who dabbles in leather work I have to say that those items are beautiful.  Nice work!  Did you dye the leather or did it come already dyed?  I ask because I used some leather for a project, once, that was called 'English saddle leather."  It was veggie tanned and was pretty much that same, rich color.

 

I love that pocket knife carrier.  Is the 'D' ring at the bottom there so you can carry it as a neck knife?  I think it would be a great place to clip my keys which I normally carry clipped to a belt loop.  In fact, I might have to bestow the, um, sincerest form of flattery on you and make something like that for myself.  I usually carry a Spyderco Resilience clipped into my pocket but would like to have a convenient, easily accessible way to carry a Swiss Army knife (a Trekker) that doesn't have a pocket clip.  Alternately, that would be a nice way to carry a multi-tool, as well.

[gjohnsoniv]

I dye all the leather myself.

The D-ring is exactly what you said it's for, clipping keys to it. I had never thought of that until a friend of mine asked if I could do one for him. Neat idea I thought.

Yep, good idea.  Could do the same thing for flashlight, spare mag, pepper spray... any sort of small pouch. 

[Dolomite_supafly]

Looks great George.

[ArmyBrat61]

I really like that British Tan.....color is beautiful and brings out the detail in your work. ....very nice work indeed.

[TrickyNicky]

Damn dude, those all look killer as usual. One of these days I'm going to have you do more work for me as your time and my money allows. I wish they made a blue gun for the Blackhawk, but one of these days is be willing to let you borrow mine for awhile I guess if it meant having a BA holster.

I think your work is approaching the point where you'll be giving Alfonso's a run for their money in short order.

[gjohnsoniv]

Thanks guys :up:

[raildog]

It all looks great the 4th picture down looks really familiar and i love it
