Did you do the leather work?   ???   I would have never thought to combine those two stamps for the border.   :-\   It's a nice combination!   :D

Cochise Leather did the holster and belt. I only did the wood.

Now you've done it! You will be looking at every piece of wood as potential grips. As well as antler, ivory, plastics, etc., etc.. You did a great job and now your hooked!

He was hooked way before this.  His beautiful grips have been seen on the TC Handguns forum for years.  I am fortunate to have a nice set he carved for me a couple years ago.
