Figured Out My Next Leather Project

Post by BrokenolMarine » Fri Oct 21, 2022 2:16 pm

:P

I saw a nice Rifle Sling that someone else had done based on a Don Gonzales pattern. It was a thumbhole sling, which allows you to put your thumb thru the sling and control the rifle and rest that arm while walking thru the woods.

When I saw it, I remembered the style from years ago and I had liked it. My Ruger Ranch Rifle has a simple Cloth Sling I bought at the Gun Shop when I picked up the rifle. I ordered the pattern from Don's shop and when it arrives... I'll get busy. If there is an interest, I'll post the process here. If not, I'll just post pics of the completed sling. I have to decide if I'll use his carving pattern, or just basket weave the sling and put a coyote on the top, since the Ranch Rifle is in the stable for that reason. :D

Thoughts?
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

I like the flower pattern (of course). Sounds like a great project, either way.

Of course ma'am. But the pattern pack comes with EIGHT choices. :o
(Four for each style, but they are interchangeable with minor adjustments.)
Don has a video on YouTube on how to complete the project.
Decisions, decisions.
You know Miss T will have input. :P

I know I'm excited.

I don’t always comment (lazy me) but I always read your progress on the leather projects you do. Please let us follow along with the sling project.
