It's been around twenty years since my last one. I decided I wanted a crossdraw one for my bird's head HRR so I dug out the leather I had left from my last effort, my tools, and got busy. I modified Al Stholman's single six pattern into what I wanted and added his Colt single action tooling pattern as I like it better than the one for the single six. After too many mistakes to keep count of and time spent waiting for supplies I didn't have I managed this. This was supposed to be light brown but Fiebing and I have different opinions on colors. Let me add that leather that is stiff as a pine board isn't easy to work with but two soakings with a strong mixture of eco-flow made it much more pliable. Not quite like new but workable.
It fits just like I intended but I made another mistake by not lining it. I sanded the flesh side of the leather to 600 grit but it is still going to wear the finish quickly. Even a HRR doesn't deserve this and it will probably go in my box of things I never use.
