Keeping myself busy during the shutdown, grips and leather
Haven't really posted here in years. Suddenly found myself with more time on my hands.
Here's how I've been keeping busy, and a couple projects I had previously done.
A holster for a New Vaquero birdshead
Curly maple grips for same
Decided to inlay some sterling silver wire into them during the making
Some other work I've done since I last posted:
M&P fullsize holster while it was drying after wet forming
A few handmade knives, pattern welded blades were 1084 & 15N20 steels, random pattern. Other knife is 1084 carbon steel. All have maple wood and either black micarta or brass bolsters
Thanks for looking.
Stay healthy and keep your hands and mind occupied!

Wow! Unbelievable talents! Post much appreciated.
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Thanks everyone!
I use a couple different self mixed blends of Fiebings dyes. Knives were done with a mix of dark brown, British tan and yellow, pistol grips we're done in three different steps, with black, dark brown and then vintage dark maple from Trans Tint mixed with alcohol; sanding between each application of dye.Last edited by Lucas; April 8th, 2020 at 02:12 PM.

Maybe I'll assemble this box of gun parts into something now that you made me feel like a slacker.
