Thought I’d post a couple pictures of two checkbook covers/wallets I finished up last week. I’ve got five of them available on the other website if you’d like to go over and take a look. The other site is www.GibsonLeather.com
The top one here is a floral in Dark Brown antique, and the one below is a hammered pattern with a half-flower border in Mahogany antique.
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 month around here so far. Always a good thing. Working on a few 1911 holsters in natural Hermann Oak leather, and did a little floral carving on a couple. I’ve got several more coming–plain, basket stamped, and more florals. Also working on some Oak leaves.
We’ve got a few listed on sale on our other website. They’re marked down pretty heavily. If you’d like to take a look, head over to www.GibsonLeather.com, or click this link to go directly to them… https://gibsonleather.com/collections/leather-holsters-belt-slide-owb-2
That’s it for now–I’ll be posting more photos of the process as time goes by, and also working on shooting some video for the new YouTube channel. If making this stuff interests you, please head over and subscribe to our channel. It’s new, and we’re off to a slow start, but more will be coming soon.

Until next time–from what’s left of America!
