Well guys I picked up my holster today and I have to say it is really awesome. A lot of thought went into it and the care and craftsmanship is very excellent. Being able to have one of these in a custom left-hand model is a great thing!
If any of you had reservations about picking one up I can tell you there is no need to hold back. There may be some new designs coming out aswell so check back often.

Quick edge samples:
For edges guys, I can do alot of themes and ideas. My free hand tooling is still coming on but here are some quick edges I threw onto some scrap leather today to give you all ideas of what I can put along the edge of the holsters for those wanting one.
*If you have another idea in mind - ASK ! and I will try to find a way to make it or come close. It's your holster - I want it to be personal as best I can.

Hey guys,
Here's a quick video to demonstrate the way my holster sit on the hip, move with you as you wear them & how they are with drawing/holstering.

When you get one of these designed I'm in for one (mine's a lowly 357, assume it will fit?). I want something to strap onto a backpack for hiking the backcountry.

I haven't had time to mock up the next prototypes - been kept busy making the version 1.0 & 2.0 for people - lol.
I will get around to making the first scabbard when I can.

I have LOTS of pictures to upload from recent orders - just finished another 4 and I check my pm's... 3 more ordered !
Here's one of the latest finished holsters waiting for pickup from a great guy (local buyer). (Excuse the iPhone quality pics)
I did a couple higher end ones (more time on the finishing and details) I will post them as soon as I have time to convert the file format for the web..**Teaser... they are both BLACK and look amazing.....**

Those of you that have had a chance to try out your 'Mare's Boots', I would like the feedback of how you find them wearable, useable, look, finish etc. only way I can let others know what they are like and make little changes to improve if I can.
** and yes... I am working on a pattern for a scabbard that will go on a pack/belt/shoulder sling/saddle. (but they will be a lot more expensive with the hours to make and materials)

Coho my holster looks awesome. I am glad you showed me that gel. It really makes the patterns stand out. Can't wait to pick it up.

Here's one of the higher finished holsters made recently, full hand carving to the owners & my discussion, metal conchos, higher grade leather (few blemishes), edges worked much longer.
More of a 'show' holster than working one. I offered to add alot more details to the holster but the buyer wanted it 'slick' simple. Pictures don't do it justice.

Great work, I like the look of all of them, but this one definitely has that "duster" look to it.

I need I need!
I sent you a PM and hope you are still making these bad boys for the Big boys!
I just picked up a 45 Long Colt with a hexagonal barrel and a brass body.
One of these leg holsters would finish the package right up!
I hope we can do some business!

Ok... How much would I be looking at for a holster to carry my Rossi Puma.. Longer than the Ranch Hand. Basically same as a 94... Would like it as a back holster. Want to be able to pack my 44 mag and my scoped 270 for the long walks... Let me know what you think it would run.

I would have to see the rifle, make some measurements & mock up a product (I'm still new to leather work - this is a hobby around my fulltime job - lol).
Trying to find the time to make a prototype multi-use Ranch Hand holster/scabbard for a bunch of people requesting. Once that is done, should be easy to just adjust a few measurements - ez
