Show and Tell... recent holster build...
Just wanted to post a pic of a recent holster I made for a friend. He was looking for something to match the Mammoth Ivory grips on his custom 1911. An exact match with leather or other exotics is always tough... but I think I did alright.
The inlay is ivory colored Caiman Crocodile. I have to admit... the color combo is not something I would personally go for, but to each their own. He was thrilled with it, so I was too comments, critiques, etc. are welcome!

Very nice work Sixer,,,
I build as well so I do recognize good technique.
I especially like the cleanliness of the belt cutouts,,, That's one area that a lot of makers flub on. Nice job. Aarond .

That looks great and the color combo really works. I really am drooling over the mammoth too.

I actually like that color combo... with that specific gun anyway.
Nice workmanship!
