Matching an older piece...

[Wild Rose]

is a pain in the patootie!

The original knifesheath made 9/2007....

The gunrig made 8/2009

Matching leather and color is always tough - on the sheath the lower part is rawhide, but for various reasons that wasn't going to work on the belt and holster so I used some buffalo for a close but not exact match - add to that beads especially when you didn't write down the colors used and then add in that dye lots change ......
The holster is for an 1846 Walker conversion, but I only have a mockup for sizing so I used my 1860 Army in the pics - that's why the gun looks small for the holster........

anyway hope ya'll enjoy the look see.......

How big IS that pistol. The way the sheath makes it look - it looks like a Dirty Harry special!

All of your work is awesome as usual. Nothing I would ever make or wear - which, to me, - means more that I like it so much. It is about appreciating the craftsmanship. Good craftsmanship transcends style - and your work certainly does that.
