Gun belt

[CraigC]

Here's a few shots of a 2½" gun belt I just finished. Did this one in a medium antique brown with several coats of extra virgin olive oil. Features a Ghormley clipped corner buckle in white bronze, antique pewter conchos and antique nickel spots with copper rivets. Goes nice with the oxblood Dodge City holster for the Schofield and one of my earliest works, a frontier knife sheath.

Wow! That's a rig I'd be proud to strap on! Was it modeled after anything historical?

Simply beautiful, sir!

[What Would You Say]

I really like it. Outstanding.

Very nice rig. Also it was refreshing to see a SA other than a Colt SAA.

Craig:

You know I don't go for the studs and glitter, but that color is appealing.

My own observation is that the browns and oxblood (as on my holster) are less conspicuous that the very dark browns, black, and light tans. Tennessee does not require concealed carry, but I prefer not to bring attention to my holster none the less.

For the record, I have been wearing the holster I got from you since it came, and its been exposed a couple of times without any comment from other folks in my company.

And, I must say, it is the best holster I have had to date.

[CraigC]

Thanks for the kind words gents, it is always appreciated. I've got a full flap holster in the works for my Open Top that this belt will compliment nicely. Just need to finish it up.

I must say, it is the best holster I have had to date.

That's high praise coming from you, Bob. Much obliged!

 

[BYJO4]

You certainly did a great job on your belt. The entire rig is impressive.

Love the antique brown, beautiful.

The bling is not to my taste and I'd prefer to match the colors. This did change my mind about what I will order from you when I finally score a big bore SA. I'm gonna go the antique brown over the oxblood and I'm surprised I feel that way.

As always, impeccable workmanship!

 

[p95]

you are a tru craftsman very purty work.

Absolutely beautiful! The coloring and tooling is right to my taste but I may have to knock ya down half a letter grade for all the shiny metal. The conchos brought you from an A+ to an A
