#1 of 2 Charity Leather Rigs

[Eaglestroker]

This is the first of two rigs from a charity that I offered work for in a local auction. Proceeds went to the family of a local Iraq vet on hard times with large medical bills. We offered two rigs, one 'mild' and one 'wild' to the lucky builders tailored to their whims. Next time I'll make sure and note a caveat of 'NO PINK' They are both for the 1911.

This one qualifies as the 'mild' one and still needs final edge touch up and another light coat of oil before final sealant but I'm really happy with the overall build. Lot of new things here for me! A fella donated $450 towards the cause to get this for his wife!

#2 will be finished by Friday

Wow, you may have a whole new group of clientele with that kind of rig.
Not my color but very well done.
Thanks for helping the vet.

Hey Bama, never seen you post over here! I told the client when she said "it has to be pink" I couldn't stomach it. This was a happy median for both of us, but won't be added to my list of offerings. It's a love to hate thing for me but turned out much better than anticipated.

My little sister wants one of those for "her" P22.
