Thanks guys! Ken I don't really think there is a trend, I think this is a coincidence. I agree with the shorter barrels packing better. Funny thing is of all the scabbards I've made, I'd never made one for a longer barrel (thats why I had to borrow the Henry for the pics, I don't even have anything with a barrel that long), then poof 3 orders all at the same time, all for longer barrels. Must be right on the roughout. 407 likes by this morning.

Eagle good to see you around, hadn't seen ya in a while. I think the ProCarv has a lot to do with it. Seems like it allows you to keep on stamping for longer periods. The moisture just stays right longer. While back we talked about one of my holsters coming up a little too close on the grip. This one for her Shield we had to be very careful on. Had to get it just right for her, so that the grip was right on the pistol from the oringinal grasping. I modififed my general pattern too after.

Dave, you'll laugh but that is the first thing I picked up on with your Shield holster. With the little guns you sometimes end up having to throw a little extra forward cant on it to get that perfect clearance. Glad pointing it out put a bug in your ear. We've been doing a bunch of basket weave work lately I'll need to try the ProCarv be a good thing to keep on hand. Rough out basket weave really looks killer and gave me a good idea for a personal project.

Thanks Jason. No it wasn't I did it on scrap a couple of times before I did it on the yoke. Finding the right version that wasn't too detailed was part of the eal like you mentioned.

Thanks Eagle. Yeah that grip was big deal to Nichole being successful with that pistol. Her hand naturally wants to be a little lower than it should be on that Shield and she didn't shoot well. Her making the effort to get high on that grip changed a lot for her shooting that gun. Roughoutis fun.
