Not a lot to talk about, but staying pretty busy between the leather shop and the knife shop. I have a few of the round or head knives available on my other website at www.GibsonLeather.com if you’d like to go over and take a look.
Good news, it’s starting to cool off a bit here on the Redneck Riviera.
This one’s a favorite. I built it last week along with a dozen others, but I only lined two of them. The other is the hammered finish I put in another post a week or so back. I like it, too, but I really like this one. That doesn’t happen too often. I should probably use the past tense talking about this–this one’s not mine anymore. It’s got a new home in South Texas, and it was interesting packing it up in that Priority Mail box and putting it in the hands of the Postal Service. It’s my hope the Postal folks don’t take it on a month-long tour of the Southwest. They did that with one a couple of months ago.
It was only here a few days after it was finished. I’ve got some I’ll probably die with, and others that aren’t finished yet, but already have “dibs” called on them. I’ll miss this one. But only for a few days–I’m building a couple more just like it.
That’s it for now. Thanks for riding along. It’s 7:30 PM here on the Redneck Riviera, and I’m calling it a day.
From what’s left of America…
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!”
