Monday. On the bench. Two florals just oiled…

Gibson leather two floral carved holsters in progress right after oiling 100% neatsfoot oil

Good early Monday morning! The time changed here yesterday–we “Sprang Forward” an hour. The twice-a-year time travel opportunity always reinforces my conviction that our government really is as screwed up as we’re led to believe. Or, I’m a simpleton that doesn’t fully appreciate the method behind Uncle Sugar’s madness.

Anyway, glad I got that outta my system. Here are two 1911 holsters we floral carved a few days ago. Both are for 4″ or 4.25″ Commander-length 1911’s. They were both molded with 5-inch barrels, and the purpose behind that is to keep the toes open. By doing this, they will accommodate a 5-inch barrel leaving 1/2″ exposed. Some like the exposed muzzle, others don’t. Commander-length 1911’s are fully covered.

These two were just oiled with 100% pure Neatsfoot oil and they look like hell. That’s totally normal until the oil evens out and they take on a pretty cool honey-color. Unlike the college students we’ve got down here these days that burn to a crisp and look more like lobsters splayed out on Panama City Beach.

It’s supposed to hit a high of 81-degrees here in sunny Florida today. These two, and a few others will get to hang out in the sunshine for a few hours and get their tan on. It’s like Spring Break for gunleather without the tan lines.

These two will be finished and on the websites later in the week. Neither are spoken for, so if you want one, shoot me an email to BruceGibson@aol.com. The price is $150 each plus $10 for Priority Mail shipping. Sales tax if you’re in Florida.

That’s all I’ve got for now. Thank you for reading.
