“If at first you don’t succeed …” When it comes to holster design and pattern making, I should have that printed on a t-shirt. My first attempts with a new pattern rarely never come out exactly how I want them to–but they almost always get close.
I guess I’ll get back to it. Have a great Wednesday.

Busy week last week, and another underway. I finished a bunch of 1911 holsters in a few different flavor combinations. A couple of florals, a basket stamp and a hammer stamp (an idea I stole–see my earlier post). I also did a half-dozen in plain ol’ natural, which we all know I’m partial to.
Today will be mostly photography, pattern making for some new guns, and knife sheaths for the Buck #112 and #110. I’ve also had a few folks asking when and if I’d be making belts again. I will be–I built one the other day for yours truly and I’m real tickled with how it turned out. Being a glutton for punishment, the answer would be “yes, I will be bringing the belts back.”
That’s it for now. Reckon I’ll wander back over to the coffee pot. Thanks for reading! And, as my friend Ricky Wallace says, “Thanks for your support!”

*Both of these are now in the Shop at the link up above.
A couple I finished this morning. Both for 4″ or 4.25″ 1911’s, and both what we call “half-lined.” The interiors are smooth leather, and the back panels are roughout. Basket-stamp on the left and the Barranti Leather-style hammered finish on the right. Both natural oil premium Hermann Oak leather and both are available. I’ll have them up on the websites later today* with all the details if you’re interested. If you’re sold and can’t wait…shoot me an email to BruceGibson@aol.com and I’ll ship it to you Monday via Priority Mail. Satisfaction guaranteed.
No waiting list, no backlog, and no advance-orders accepted. I apologize for the last one, but that’s the only way to offer the first two.
