While frontier sheaths and knives are my favorites, I make about three or four period holsters for every sheath I make so I thought some of ya'll may enjoy a look at some of that work......

I took the pics at 3:00 AM so the bead colors are a bit off, but other than that caveat I hope ya'll enjoy the view..........

Bark tan for the main holsters with spots, beaded braintan cuffs, and double layer front fringe. Side fringe is beads, bone hairpipe, tin cones, and buffalo hair.....
 
Very, very nice Chuck :thumbup:

All of the details are fantastic but your beadwork is off the charts !!

Thanks for taking the time to show us ;)



:cool:
 
Thanks guys and glad you like my work - it's also nice to hear something nice - I blew a fourth disc in my low back about a month ago and the %$@#!*(!&%# pain has been bad even with some drugs and such....then there's been the heat most days have been 95-100° F for the last 6 weeks and at 7,000' ASL that's HOT!

Here's a couple of pics of the belt and the shot pouch that go with the holsters…

Also just finished another Bowie and sheath which I'll post in a day or so.......
 
I always enjoy seeing your work and the nice way you stage the photos.
Hope your back is doing better.........
 
huge respect! Incredible handwork!
 
Hope your back gets better. I have had back surgery myself and understand the pain and frustration.
