All holsters are made to order unlined open toe. Plain or tooled with carving optional. Right or left hand.
If you don't see it here, no problem, we'll make what you need. Just for you!
Holsters can be lined depending on the chosen design. The only lining I will use is Veg tanned calfskin. It maybe left natural or dyed. Sometimes when a real gun is used to mold the holster it will react with the lining and leave dark streaks where the gun comes in contact. This gives the new holster a used look. Since I want your new holster to look new when you get it, I may choose to dye the lining.

"Cherry" brought us a big roper and wanted me to make it a
"Ladies saddle". We cleaned it up, added fancy silver
conchos, restringed it, put new rawhide stirrups on and added her
initials to the latigo carrier. |

A great old New Mexico unmarked trail saddle |
Herman H. Heiser of Denver |
When we found this old Tom Flynn saddle at the Ritter ranch in
LaVita, Colorado. The story went how a working cowboy at the ranch
got busted up when his horse fell. He went away and this saddle
stayed on a fence rail for 50 years. We got it for $60.00 as a wall
hanger... but I had a different idea!
Using the old pieces as templates I bought new leather and completely
restored it from the tree up. Now it resides in my lounge.

Restoration Project 2013 |
1940's style low cantle roper |
Condition of saddle as found:
Saddle appeared very dirty, but intact with worn fleece, a rough texture on swells. Rest of saddle had a smooth outer texture. Missing stitches on cantle binding, and on half of rear jockey. Missing and broken strings on front. Strings on middle and rear are replacement in good condition. Rawhide wrapped wooden tree. Double full rigging. Upon tear down it was found the right front bar was cracked and showed signs of being tampered with, most likely when the original strings were replaced. An inadequate repair, it was determined that an adequate repair could be made using wood glue, Bondo, overlapped with Fiberglass resin. Owner approved repair. Rusted tin conchos, worn leather conchos. A few missing leather pieces.

BEFORE
AFTER |
Most notably it was found upon tear down and close inspection that this saddle started life as a rough out style meaning that the smooth or tanned side was actually turned upside down and the suede or flesh side of the leather was to be the finished side. This saddle has seen so much use in the sixty or so years of it's life that the seat portion and stirrup leathers, and rear jockey have accumulated so much dirt, moisture, sunlight, and pressure that their finishes are worn to a smooth finish. It was determine by myself to go with was revealed as I proceeded. As I cleaned and scrubbed the pieces I felt I should keep the smooth pieces as they are, clean, oil and re-dye to existing color. To my surprise as I cleaned the swells and skirts, they revealed themselves to maintain their original rough out condition. As I cannot change how things were originally made I had to go with how this saddle wanted to be restored. The final condition is now a hybrid with a contrasting color scheme, and a mixture of original rough out and smooth leathers. It is quite beautiful and striking in it's appearance. It was also decided for appearance sake to install new strings all around. |
1930's -40's H H Heiser Very poor condition missing many parts. This saddle had not seen any oil or conditioner in 30 years. It did however have a sound tree and the owner wanted to have it restored. |
Before |
This saddle was missing both stirrup leathers, fenders, stirrups, off billet, latigo strap, leather conchas, strings...and it needed new fleese. We started by removing the skirts and tearing off the old shearling. Then the long process of removing the existing stitches from the leather skirts. We hand stitch the new sheep shearling on so the old stitches must be removed to make way for the new. |
After many hours of saddle soap scrubbing and re-hydrating the old leather the saddle started to take on a new life and developed a nice rich color. |
After |
The new skirts sewn up the saddle was assembled with the new parts. |
Both of these saddle restores took on average 25 hours labor and near $200.00 each in parts. If you are interested in restoring a saddle figure somewhere in the $400.00 - $450.00 range. it may come in a little less or a little more depending on what parts are needed. |
|
New sheep shearling will cost $225.00 -$275.00 depending on the size of the skirts. New strings will be an extra $60.00 If taken care of properly a saddle will last several life times. A new quality saddle will cost $1000.00 or more, usually double that. So if you have a saddle you love and it needs some attention. I would be happy to look at it and see what we can do. |

Sometimes we get special requests |
Someone wanted a small holster to fit into a big holster...here is what I came up with... |
|
|
|
The small holster was fitted with a belt loop so it could be worn on the person. It was held in place inside the larger holster by a Velcro strip. Very secure retention was achieved. |
Most holsters are made gun specific if possible.
I try to find a training pistol as pictured above and below that are
exact copies of the required gun. The blue gun is a Glock 26/28
