Two new floral carved holsters

[CraigC]

This time I'm plugging two other makers. The first is Skillet Creek on Etsy. Michael does beautiful work. It's all hand stitched and his carving is very well executed. This is a Slim Jim for the Schofield. Should've taken a pic of his very well done sewn toe plug.

The other is the "Shootist" from Simply Rugged. Rick Gittlein does their floral carving and his work is excellent. His work was partly what inspired me to try my hand at it.

Rick has a habit of creating beautiful pieces of art, be it holsters, custom furniture, wood-stoves, cannons, rifle stocks, etc.

The guy dies excellent work. I look at edge burnishing and backgrounding to see how well it is done as that is usually the areas that some makers don't take the most pains with. IMO the background on the slim jim needs a bit more work but other than that they are great..
